4.0 out of 5 stars History Wars in the post-Rudd Environment, March 4, 2008
This review is from: The History Wars (Paperback)
It is interesting how this book reads in the post "Sorry" environment.

The election of the Rudd government has shown how Stuart MacIntyre's book is a fairly reasoned account of the nature of both the History Wars, and the Black Arm Band debate, as seen through the eyes of two historical heavyweights, Manning Clark and Geoffrey Blainey, both of whom are portrayed in a balanced and sympathetic fashion.

McIntryre's conclusion that the History Wars have led to the fact that the study of history has fallen into itas lowest ebb is hard to refute, although another explanation may be the fact that academic studies are supposed to have a narrow economic benefit.
