    I must have been born with a restless nature, something that will explain why I have traveled so much, changed fields so many times. Born in Montreal, Canada, I have lived most of my life in the Los Angeles area, where for some decades now I have been a professor of history at the California Institute of Technology. My publications have included works of history, biography, and criticism, but in recent years I have turned to more imaginative forms of writing -- a book of family stories entitled The Man Who Swam Into History (2005), and two novels, King of Odessa (2003), Red Star, Crescent Moon: A Muslim-Jewish Love Story (2010), and a memoir, Adventures of a Postmodern Historian: Living And Writing the Past (2016).

    My works of narrative history and/or biography include Romantic Revolutionary: A Biography of John Reed (1975 Commonwealth Club of California medal for Non Fiction), which was used as the basis of the Academy Award winning film Reds; Crusade of the Left (1970), an account of the Americans who fought in the Spanish Civil War and Mirror in the Shrine (1988), a multi-voiced work that deals with three American sojourners in 19th century Japan.

As a story-teller always searching for new ways of capturing the past, Rosenstone writes for historians, for students and readers of history, and for those who live in a moment of time, which is all of us.”

    “Last week I read your Adventures of a Postmodern Historian . . . . I want to congratulate you on it most warmly: it’s a truly wonderful book and I love it! And then I have in mind not only the book itself and the story of your life you tell in it, but no less what being a historian has meant to you. This aspect of your book is already clear from its title. For the title suggests that doing history can be an ‘adventure’ and that the histo
