Richard Millman (historian)

Richard Millman (1932–1983) was an American historian. He worked at the University of Illinois,^[1][2] and was an instructor at Temple University in 1960–1961.^[3]

Millman's 1979 work on Benjamin Disraeli's policy during the Great Eastern Crisis of 1875–78 (Britain and the Eastern Question) was called the "authoritative account" by M. R. D. Foot^[4] and a "masterly achievement" by John Vincent.^[5] According to Richard Shannon, Millman "challenges the Seton-Watsonian tradition and boldly essays to restore the credibility of Disraeli's attempt to reassert the Palmerstonian tradition of maintaining the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire as a capital British interest".^[2]
