Abstract
Interview with Istvan Deak, Seth Low Professor Emeritus at Columbia University. Interview conducted in Ithaca, NY on April 29, 2009. Istvan Deak has written several books on topics ranging from Weimar Germany to the 1848 Revolution in Hungary to the Habsburg Army's officer corps to Hitler's Europe. It is difficult to exaggerate the contribution he has made to the field of East-Central European History. There are two notable indicators of that influence, one is the Deak Chair established at Columbia in his honor, and the other the many students of his who now populate the field.
