Dozer was born in Zanesville, Ohio, receiving his A.B. in History from the College of Wooster in 1927, and then earned an A.M. (1930) and a Ph.D. (1936) in History at Harvard University.[1] His doctoral dissertation was entitled on “Anti-imperialism in the United States 1865-1895. Opposition to the annexation of overseas territories.”[2] He taught at the University of Maryland from 1937 to 1942, and then, from 1942-1943 served with the Office of the Coordinator of Information (which later evolved into the Office of Strategic Services and the Office of War Information) in Washington, DC. From 1943-1944, Dozer served as a liaison in the Caribbean region for the Office of Lend Lease Administration.[3] He then moved to the State Department, where he did research and analysis (especially on Argentina) until 1956.[4] He then accepted a call to the History Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he joined Philip Wayne Powell and Wilbur R. Jacobs in building a nucleus of scholars who would become the core for a growing department in the 1960s. Dozer published nearly 100 articles and reviews as well as several well-received books. He retired and was granted emeritus status in 1972, and died in 1980 at Saint Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara.[5]
