Brinkley, Alan 
[HIST W3649] America Between the Wars, 1918-45
Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.
This man is brilliant, and it's such a shame his lectures are so boring. Depending on your TA, it's not necessarily worth your time reading all the material; save your caffienated beverages for before and during class, where Brinkley will spew fact after fact in lectures that seem endless. He spends a lot of time on some RANDOM stuff, and goes into quite a bit of detail about everything. And watch out--his tests cover all of it
Make sure you get a good TA; Brinkley himself will never see anything you do. Workload is fairly standard, about 150 pages a week, mandatory sections, 15-page paper, midterm and final

His lectures use up every possible minute and are packed with facts. You will learn a ton of history from him, and you'll even get excited about it from time to time, since he lectures so well. (Warning: political analysis ahead) It is interesting to learn from a historian as brilliant and piercing as he is, whose political views differ from my own... you will never find a more pragmatic and honest adversary in a debate. He is also very helpful, and he makes a great mentor when he has free time. Chat him up during office hours.
Large research paper, Midterm and Final exams.
