Schupf Professor of History and Humanities at Cazenovia College, Cazenovia, NY, where he has taught for the past thirty-five years. He is the director of the Social Science program, and serves as the College Archivist. Dr. Greene's teaching and writing specialty lies in American Political History, particularly the American presidency. He has written or edited seventeen books.His most recent book is a revised edition of his critically acclaimed The Presidency of George Bush (June, 2015 release). Of this book, Lewis Gould, author of many highly praised books on the American presidency, wrote: "The revised edition of Bob Greene's study of the George H. W. Bush presidency is even better than the very good first edition. Wise, balanced, and lively, Greene's narrative does ample justice to an administration whose achievements and failures deserve just this kind of lucid, fair-minded, and absorbing treatment."Greene's other books include one on the election of Dwight Eisenhower, one on the Nixon presidency, three on the Ford presidency, a biography of Betty Ford, three on the presidency of George H.W. Bush, and one on the presidency of George W. Bush. His America in the Sixties (2010) is rich in both anecdotes, stories, and thoughtful analysis, as it utilizes the author's three decades of teaching and publishing on that fascinating and volatile period. Of his four books on the history of higher education, his Generations of Excellence: A History of Cazenovia College continues to raise funds for scholarships at Cazenovia College. He is presently updating his a history of the presidential election of 1952.Both his students and his colleagues have honored Dr. Greene.
