Biography
Wallbank taught history at the University of Southern California from 1933 to 1964. He collaborated with Alastair M. Taylor to write Civilization Past & Present. Civilization (1942) was the first world-history textbook published in the United States to enjoy great success in sales.[1] Other authors eventually joined the writing team for later editions.
Wallbank's areas of specialization were South Asia and Africa. He received the Watumull Prize of the American Historical Association award in 1950 for another book, India in the New Era.
