Timeline

1931

James Clarke Chace (October 16, 1931 – October 8, 2004) was an American historian, writing on American diplomacy and statecraft.

1954

He went to France in 1954 to conduct graduate-study research on painter Eugène Delacroix and writer Charles Baudelaire, but soon found his interest drawn to the current intellectual arena of literature and politics, which led to an intense interest in French political writers including Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre.

1955

He returned to France later the same year as a soldier and in 1955 and 1956 worked as an Army translator, which involved the translation of French newspapers for the Central Intelligence Agency.

While in France he wrote a novel and was witness to the impact of that nation's withdrawal from Vietnam and its problems with a rebellion in colonialized Algeria.

1959

After his return to the United States his interest in foreign policy grew as he served as managing editor for East Europe, a political review of Soviet bloc affairs, from 1959 to 1969, during which time he wrote his book Conflict in the Middle East about the Six-Day War.

1967

He also served as the managing editor of the foreign policy journal Interplay (1967–1970) and Foreign Affairs (1970–1983).

1980

His pieces were frequently printed on newspaper op-ed pages and he contributed to the New York Times Book Review in the 1980s and 1990s.

Chace's work focused on American statesmanship, the interplay of American interests with American values, and the use of American power.

He believed that any statesman effectively leading a nation will understand that resources are limited — including blood and political will — and that in protecting the interests of the nation those resources cannot be overtaxed.

According to fellow writer and good friend Mark Danner, Chace considered the Vietnam War a classic example of a nation failing to prudently balance interests and resources, and saw the Iraq War as another example.

Chace died from a heart attack in Paris while doing research for a biography of the Marquis de Lafayette, which would have been his tenth book.

At the time of his death, Chace resided in New York City and was survived by former wives Jean Valentine and Susan Denvir Chace, daughters Sarah, Rebecca, and Zoe.

He was a close friend and mentor of military historian and author Caleb Carr and historian David Fromkin.

He had two grand daughters, Rebecca and Pesha.

Joan Bingham was a long time companion.

1990

This experience he later described in his 1990 memoir What We Had.

Chace graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Classics.

In 1990, he was appointed Professor of Government at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, in upstate New York.

He later helped found and chair Bard's international affairs program, the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program (BGIA), in New York City.

1993

He became editor of the World Policy Journal in 1993, where he served for 7 years.

1998

His 12 books include the critically acclaimed Acheson: The Secretary of State Who Created the American World (1998), the definitive biography of former Secretary of State Dean Acheson.

2000

In a debate during the 2000 presidential primary, George W. Bush referred to Chace's Acheson as one of the books he was reading at the time.

His writings, known for elegant and even literary prose, often influenced American thought in policymaking — his coining of the phrase "the indispensable nation" with Sidney Blumenthal to describe America was widely used when Secretary of State Madeleine Albright began including it in her speeches.

Chace was born and raised in Fall River, Massachusetts.

His family, of the New England aristocracy, lost nearly everything during the Great Depression after the collapse of the Fall River cotton-mill economy.
