"Diplomatic historian Nicholas Evan Sarantakes has done a great service
for web surfers with an interest in foreign policy by putting together
the U.S. Diplomatic History Resources Index. As the name suggests, this
site will guide you to online information on U.S. diplomacy past and present"--Fox

"U.S. foreign policy historians will gladly use this site to link up
to an almost unending and unbelievably long list of historical archives
and papers. U.S. Diplomatic History Resources Index provides more
references than can be listed here but examples range from the papers of
J. William Fulbright and presidential libraries to documents on the Cuban
Missile crisis, Vietnam, and Hiroshima to books. While the listing
can be inundating at times, the sources are easily linked and the payoff
is extraordinary." Web Guide Monthly Magazine, Premiere Issue
(July/August), 1997

"Nick Sarantakes, an assistant professor of history at Texas A&M
University--Commerce, has created a Web site geared toward scholars in
history, political science, economics, area studies, international relations
and journalism. The 'U.S. Diplomatic History Resources Index' lists
links to hundreds of Web sites ranging from Military Intelligence to the
Roosevelt Cartoon Archive to the Government of New Zealand. Already
widely recognized in the national media, the site should easily become
an indispensable tool for academics and history buffs alike."--Web Site

"Students and debaters of U.S. foreign policy will revel in the Web
site of a historian from Texas A&M University. The U.S. Diplomatic
History Resources Index of Nicholas E. Sarantakes, a professor at the branch
campus in Commerce, northeast of Dallas, outlines hundreds of links both
alphabetically and by subject. The principal page holds bookmarks, generally
listed alphabetically starting with archives links and working its way
down to the World Trade Organization. Under the History subheading, some
of the headings hint at the scope of modern history: A Disraeli and the
Suez Canal link sits next to a discussion of the 1945 Atomic Bomb decision;
one Web site projects stereoscopic pictures of the Philippine-American
War, while the previous link reviews the PBS television history of the
war in Vietnam.
"The index also includes sub-pages devoted to books, centers of study
and funding sources for research. The alphabetical listing and the categorical
organization help make up for the lack of a search engine that could hack
through the nearly 500 Web pages. Sarantakes states that the site is developing
and he plans to add more sites."--The Washington Post, October 8,
