Hello fellow rednecks, students, colleagues, or whatever you happen to be at the moment.  Welcome to the website of Samuel S. Stanton, Jr.  Here you will find: links I think are useful in research; latest syllabi for courses I teach; information for my students; some music I like; some photos of interest to me; and of course, information about myself and my research.  My C.V. can be viewed by visiting the about me section of this site. Be sure to check out the Photo Gallery.  Come again whenever you want.

My first book has been published and here is a link to the Mellen Press site for the book:

Quote of the Month:

Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

             - Hermann Wilhelm Göring, during his trial in Nuremberg
