Developing the Whole Person

Tom McCarthy is a professor in the History Department at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, where he teaches twentieth-century United States and world history. He holds a PhD in history from Yale University and an MBA from Columbia University. He was a Woodrow Wilson Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities. He is the author of Auto Mania: Cars, Consumers, and the Environment (2007). Developing the Whole Person is based on his father's life and legacy.

“A son examines his father’s impact on twentieth-century higher education and helps the rest of us understand—and perhaps make peace—with the person we became. Tom McCarthy’s book is a profoundly thought-provoking reflection on the people, events, and institutions that shaped us.”—Tom Curley, former President of the Associated Press (La Salle University, class of 1970)
