My Take
I am drawn to Ingrao because choosing war as your field of history means staring at humanity's darkest machinery for a living. As a CNRS research director within the Raymond Aron Center at the EHESS in Paris, he sits at the serious end of French scholarship, far from any spotlight. What I admire is the steadiness it must take: to interrogate atrocity rigorously without letting it numb you. Historians like him rarely trend, yet they do the patient, unglamorous work of explaining how people become capable of the unthinkable. That quiet courage of the archive earns my deep respect.
