The list is here http://chnm.gmu.edu/rhr/haw1.htm But take it with a grain of salt -- the verification process hasn't been exactly diligent. Of two "signers" listed as being affiliated with my alma mater, one is a visiting assistant professor and the other is a woman for whom a campus building was named ... in 1928!

The real question to ask is, how many have any special knowledge of war and peace? For example, the one from the University of Delaware is specialized in studies of gender (Victorian era).

and, to my relief, not one of the historians under whom I have had the privilege of studying have signed this odious piece of flummery.

Thank you for putting up that link. I went there, read the list, read the statement, then read another 20 pages of that "radical" website. Out of it came my next UPI column entitled, "Historians against History (HAH!)"

I would probably not have known about this collection of ignoramuses and their smary statement except for this thread. And I wouldn't have gotten all the ancilary information necessary to write a good and original column for UPI, without following the link you provided.

Thank you. And thanks to FReepers generally.
