from Wikipedia:
Widely known for his radical re-evaluation of the Founding Fathers of the United States.
Charles Austin Beard in our last conversation. With characteristic cogency and incisiveness, Beard held that the foreign policy of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, and of their ideological supporters, whether Democrats, Republicans, Socialists, or Communists, could most accurately and precisely be described by the phrase "perpetual war for perpetual peace". Howard Beale and C. Vann Woodward focused on greed and economic causation and emphasized the centrality of corruption. Left Columbia University in protest in 1917. Beard attended and graduated from DePauw University in 1898. It was at DePauw that he met one of the founders of Kappa Alpha Theta (the first Greek-letter society for women), Mary Ritter Beard. They later married. Many of his books were written in collaboration with his wife, whose own interests lay in feminism and the labor union movement (Woman as a Force in History, 1946). Together they wrote a popular survey, Basic History of the United States.
