- Jean Edward Smith, a scholar who was one of the most admired biographers of his time, died Sept. 1 [2019] at his home in Huntington, W.Va. He was 86. A political scientist, his first books were on German politics, but beginning in the 1990s, he became a prolific chronicler of the lives of major figures in U.S. history. Jean Edward Smith was born Oct. 13, 1932, in Washington. He was an Army artillery officer, primarily in Germany, and in 1963 published his first book, "The Defense of Berlin," about events leading up to the building of the Berlin Wall. Columbia University accepted the book as a dissertation and awarded Dr. Smith a PhD in 1964 in the field of public law and government. He taught at Dartmouth College before joining the faculty of Toronto University in 1965, eventually becoming a dual citizen of Canada. After 35 years, he moved to Marshall University and held the university's John Marshall professorship in political science)
