Stuart D. Goldman is an American historian and author. His most recent book is Nomonhan, 1939: The Red Army's Victory that Shaped World War II, about the little-known but highly consequential battle of Nomonhan/Khalkin Gol/, published by the US Naval Institute Press.[1] He has also published numerous articles in World War II magazine.
Goldman got his BA in history from the City University of New York – Brooklyn College and then went to Colgate University for his MA. He received his PhD from Georgetown University[2] during which he wrote a dissertation on The Forgotten War: the Soviet Union and Japan, 1937-1939.[3]
More recently, Goldman spent a year at the National War College where he earned a master's degree in national security strategy.
Goldman taught history at Wilson College from 1969 to 1971 and Pennsylvania State University between 1971 and 1978. He then became a specialist in Russian and Eurasian political and military affairs at the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress, where he worked for 30 years.[4] During that time, he wrote hundreds of analytical memoranda for Congressional Committees and Members and published scores of CRS reports.[5]
Goldman has been a scholar in residence at the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research since his retirement from CRS in 2009.[6]
He lives in Rockville, MD and Largo, FL.[7]
