1. Peter von Hagenbach

Tried in the Holy Roman Empire in the year 1474 for leading a bloody rebellion, Peter von Hagenbach sadly did not live long enough to see the founding of the Fletcher School. Though many contemporaries feel that he was only following orders from the Duke of Burgundy, Peter was convicted and beheaded before ever having a chance to talk about the globalizing third world with a glint in his eye.

2. Commander Karl Neumann

Karl was tried in the Leipzig War Crime Trials of 1921 after the U-Boat he captained sunk a hospital ship in the First World War, but was found not guilty, as he was acting on a superior’s orders. Thus, when he served as the Paul S. Longheim Professor of European Relations from 1928-1942, he was technically not a war criminal, which isn’t really the premise of this list but my editors assure me is close enough to count.

3. Former Liberian President Charles Taylor

Though President Taylor was convicted by the Special Court for Sierra Leone on 17 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, he turned down the Fletcher school’s offer in order to teach at the Harvard Kennedy school, and is therefore qualified to be on this list.

4. Uhhhhh, Jim… Jambo.

Jim Jambo was a very real war criminal, convicted by the International Criminal Court in 1865 for, like, embezzlement. He didn’t teach at the Fletcher school. Check the records. Did we make it to four? That’s four? Awesome. Hell yeah. We did it.
