"We are, indeed, losing our history of great men and women in this country...because too many of those who honeycomb our academies, and who dominate the writing of history, take a cynical or even hostile approach toward America and the people who made it great." From Bill Bennett's Foreward to "Presidential Leadership."

Andie Tucher asks "What Did You Do in the War, Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandpa?" and explains how you can find out:

"In 1818, a good war story could fetch you eight dollars a month and survive you by two hundred years. In the second decade of the nineteenth century, when Congress first granted pension benefits to Revolutionary War veterans from the enlisted ranks who were 'in need of assistance from [their] country,' grizzled and destitute exprivates began flocking to their county courthouses to claim their due. Documentation, being rare, wasn't required, but stories were: to prove their service the veterans were expected to regale the honorable justices with forty-year-old memories of military actions, to impress them with the names of commanding officers, and to supply them with details on places and dates, all of which were taken down on paper for the claimant's signature or mark. To this day in the National Archives in Washington, thousands of old soldiers remember the war of their youth."

According to John Keegan, "History tells us that most conflicts end in chaos". "History is useful. That, at any rate, is the theme of Alan Bennett's new play, The History Boys. History gets you into a good university. History gets you a good job. History is a key to cracking the secret of life.

Or is it? I have been a dedicated history boy for 50 years but these past few months I have begun to wonder if history is any use at all. Britain and the United States have got into a difficult situation in Iraq and the entire Western media are reacting as if an unprecedented disaster is about to overwhelm their armed forces and governments."
