Arthur Schlesinger Jr.

He was a distinguished 20th-century American historian who served as a professor at Harvard and won two Pulitzer Prizes. He theoretically spearheaded Cold War liberalism and supported the core of the administration (Camelot) as a special assistant (speechwriter and intellectual advisor) to President Kennedy. His later memoirs of the JFK administration, *A Thousand Days*, and *The Imperial Presidency*, which critiqued the expansion of executive power, remain celebrated masterpieces, leaving an immense footprint in both academia and politics as a witness to history and a supreme analyst.
