- I believe Stoessinger is a Professor at the University of California at San Diego, or UCSD, not at the University of San Diego.'
- Dr Stoessinger teaches both at UCSD and USD, a course called Crisis Area in the World. The course focuses on comparative politics and evaluates the state of the world by geographical zone. The following case studies are approached: Rwanda, South Africa, China, Japan, Cold War, Kashmir, Palestine and Israel, Cuban Missile Crisis and JFK, Vietnam, Holocaust, the United Nations, Kissinger, Iraq I and II, Iran. One can see that Dr. Stoessinger's course focuse not only on countries but also on individuals, conflicts and organizatons. Both the Holocaust and the UN topics are autobiographical in nature, since Dr. Stoessinger has been in proximity of the event and the organization. The story of his life is more than interesting knowing that he had to go around the world to survive. The events of his life should definitely be considered important in the making of Dr. John Stoessinger, a diplomat and global citizen. (From Charles-Adrien Fourmi)
