The Mormon History Asssociation (MHA) recently recognized Dr. Craig Livingston, a history professor at Lone Star College-Montgomery, with a prestigious international award for his most recent book. The Paper reports that the award, 2014 Best International Book, was presented to Livingston along with a cash prize at the annual MHA conference in San Antonio.

Livingston’s book, From Above and Below: The Mormon Embrace of Revolution, 1840-1940, recounts global revolutionary stories with a Mormon commentary, beginning with the European revolutions of 1848.

Livingston told The Paper about his experience at the conference saying:

“It was exciting to see some of my old professors and classmates from Brigham Young University…It was nice to cavort with the historians who inspired me long ago.”
