Historians: I'm looking for an accessible book for students on the history of peace and democracy in the modern world. Historical interpretations preferred... the more global the better. Any thoughts?

If you haven't already heard, the U.S. National Archives is making most of its microfilmed Nazi membership records (16 million digital objects) available online free of charge. It's not the cleanest of collections, but still an incredible resource for historians, students, and genealogists.

Jürgen Habermas, a philosopher and public intellectual who was one of the most influential and cited thinkers in postwar Germany, died on Saturday. He was 96.

I'll be watching the new #Nuremberg film tonight. Trying to keep an open mind. My wife has made me promise not to whisper any historical commentary (or criticism). Totally fair.

Our Phi Alpha Theta chapter made the main page of the national website. This is what “unlocking your historical potential” looks like…
