The Bancroft Prize is awarded annually by the trustees of Columbia University for books about diplomacy or the history of the Americas. It was established in 1948 by a bequest from Frederic Bancroft (1860-1945), a historian, author and librarian. The prize awarded to Michael A. Bellesiles in 2001 was rescinded in 2002, after Columbia’s trustees concluded that Bellesiles had "violated basic norms of scholarship and the high standards expected of Bancroft Prize winners." That marked the first time the prize has ever been rescinded.
