Historian Spotlight - Thomas Conlan



Thomas Conlan is an Associate Professor of History at Bowdoin College (ME).

Check out his bio here.

Conlan has authored some really great works in recent years. In Little Need of Divine Intervention and Weapons and Fighting Techniques of the Samurai Warrior are two valuable resources for me in my current personal library. Along with those 2 works, Conlan has also authored State of War: The Violent Order of Fourteenth Century Japan.

You can also find him from time to time making appearances for History Channel specials.

Conlan has also done some tremendous work putting together some virtual online scrolls. (I won't go into these that much here because they are going to be discussed in further detail in the near future.) I have already wasted more than a few hours digging through these scrolls and reading over the great information that Conlan has provided for them. You can find these scrolls on the link that I provided earlier in this post.
