Rand Mirante

Previously a lawyer with McGraw-Hill, Rand Mirante is a fundraiser for Princeton University; he graduated from Princeton and Harvard Law School. For a number of years, he taught Treason: From Henry V to John Walker Lindh in Princeton’s Writing Program, which included treatments of Benedict Arnold by John Marshall and Mercy Otis Warren. He has written Medusa’s Head, a biography of the regicide Joseph Fouché, Napoleon’s sinister and chameleonic police minister. Rand has given talks on the 1776-77 campaign to alumni, federal judges, and Washington’s descendants, and has lectured on a variety of topics ranging from the fall of New France to the Berlin Airlift on “Princeton Journeys” trips on the St. Lawrence, Danube, and Elbe Rivers and to Normandy.
