How We Invented Childhood

Think of childhood. Not necessarily your childhood, but the idea of being a kid in general. What comes to mind? Playing? Curiosity? Imagination? Innocence? These are all common, if not cliché, notions of what it means to be a child. You play, you learn, you imagine and you are kept...

Historic Battlefields Then And Now

Battles are actually unusual in military history. It’s far more common for one side to be willing or able to fight and for the other side to collapse at once or wage a guerrilla war than it is for rival armies to roll the dice on a few confrontations. Battles...

In 1945, an Allied soldier named Alf Robinson found a tattered, coverless book in a bomb-blasted house...

After Genocide, Only Human Wreckage Remains

From The Associated Press on May 13, 1994: “Nobody lives here any more. Not the expectant mothers huddled outside the maternity clinic, not the families squeezed into the church, not the man who lies rotting in a schoolroom beneath a chalkboard map of Africa.
