He received his Ph.D. from Kent State University in 1970 and taught during the 1970s at what is now Georgia College & State University. He spent 1975-1976 teaching at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. While at GC&SU and Clemson University, he earned both institutions' highest faculty awards for his teaching, research, and service to school and profession. In 1988 he received a titled professorship, named in honor of the fifty-seven members of Clemson University's Class of 1941 who died in World War II. McKale's research has ranged widely, exploring the history of subjects such as World War I, the Nazi party and German diplomacy, the Holocaust and World War II, and the postwar myth that Adolf Hitler survived the war and defeat of his Nazi regime. The most recent of his seven books, Hitler's Shadow War: The Holocaust and World War II, was a 2003 main selection of the History Book Club. His War by Revolution: Germany and Great Britain in the Middle East in the Era of World War I (1998) received the Charles Smith Book Award from the European section of the Southern Historical Association. During his career, McKale received research grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and German Academic Exchange Service. Several film and television companies in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe have employed him as a consultant. He lives in Clemson, South Carolina, with his wife, Janna.
