9 There is documentation of Morgenthau 's student work and legalcareer before his emigration from Europe in 1937, but the major portion of the collection is devoted to his life and writingsas an analyst of international relations from the World War II era until his death in greater part of Morgenthau 's academic tenure was spent as a professor of political science at the University of focus throughout the Papers is on Morgenthau 's development of his particular conception of power relationships, histies to the scholarly and foreign policy-making community, and his presence as a dissenting voice in the fields of Americanforeign relations and international German Jewish exile from Nazi Germany, Morgenthau published politics among nations in 1948.

10 This survey text andits successor volumes established him as an exponent of a "realpolitik" view of international relations in which nationalself-interest was contrasted with the ideological and legalistic basis of American diplomacy. In the aftermath of World WarII, Morgenthau supported an active American role in establishing the postwar world order, but he became an outspokenopponent of government policy during the Vietnam conflict. In his final years he spoke in favor of d tente with the SovietUnion, dealt often with questions involving Israel, the Middle East, and Russian dissidents, and strongly opposedintervention by the United States in the domestic affairs of other nations .
