    Sigh

    Modest suggestion for historians, especially British historians: If you choose a topic from the period 1945-60, instead of 1930-45, not only will you be more likely to say something new, but you are much more likely to help your readers understand the world they live in

    this seems to be a common but misguided perception. it's not that the right doesn't know about outlines of history - & so can be "educated" out of it - rather the right rejects the premise of critical historical work. they want nostalgia, not history.
