Guenter Lewy (22 August 1923 – 24 March 2026) was a German-born American author and political scientist who was a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His works spanned several topics, but he was most often associated with his 1978 book on the Vietnam War, America in Vietnam, and several controversial works that deal with the applicability of the term genocide to various historical events, where Lewy denied both the Romani genocide and the Armenian genocide. In 1939, he migrated from Germany to Palestine. After World War II, he migrated to the United States to reunite with his parents. Lewy earned a BA at City College in New York City and a MA and PhD at Columbia University. He was on the faculties of Columbia University, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He later lived in Washington, D.C., and was a frequent contributor to Commentary. Lewy died in Bethesda, Maryland on 24 March 2026, at the age of 102.
