Arthur L. Herman is an American historian and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.
Born in 1956, he is known for his popular historical works that often employ the Great Man perspective, a 19th-century methodology attributing historical events to the actions of influential individuals.
This approach has been refined by modern thinkers like Sidney Hook.
Herman's writing style and choice of subjects reflect his conservative intellectual background, having associations with think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute and the Hudson Institute.
His works often explore themes of American exceptionalism and the role of industry in shaping history.
