AHA Prize in European International History

(Redirected from George Louis Beer Prize)

The AHA Prize in European International History, formerly named the George Louis Beer Prize, is an award given by the American Historical Association for the best book in European international history from 1895 to the present written by a United States citizen or permanent resident.[1] The prize was created in 1923 to honor the memory of George Beer, a prominent historian, member of the U.S. delegation at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, and senior League of Nations official. Described by Jeffrey Herf, the 1998 laureate, as "the Academy Award" of book prizes for modern European historians,[2] it is one of the most prestigious American prizes for book-length history.[3] The Beer Prize is usually awarded to senior scholars in the profession; the American Historical Association restricts its other distinguished European history award, the Herbert Baxter Adams Prize, to young authors publishing their first substantial work. The name was changed in 2024 to "The Prize in European International History."[4]

Four historians—Edward W. Bennett, Carole Fink, Piotr S. Wandycz, and Gerhard Weinberg—have won the Beer Prize more than once.
