Denna Frank Fleming (1893–1980) was an American historian and political scientist, who is best known for his work The Cold War and Its Origins.

Early life and education

He was born in Paris, Illinois, on March 25, 1893, the son of Albert and Eleanor McCormick Fleming. He received his MA and PhD from the University of Illinois.
