The World History Association Bentley Book Prize is an annual award given by the World History Association. It was first awarded in 1999 as the World History Association Book Prize; the name was changed in 2012 to honor Jerry H. Bentley.[1][2][3] The prize is $500.
It should not be confused with the Jerry Bentley Prize in World History, a similar book prize established in 2014 by the American Historical Association.[4]
