Historians Of World War II
A historian is a person who studies and writes about the past and is regarded as an authority on it. Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. Some historians are recognized by publications or training and experience.Herman, A. M. (1998). Occupational outlook handbook: 1998–99 edition. Indianapolis: JIST Works. Page 525. "Historian" became a professional occupation in the late nineteenth century as research universities were emerging in Germany and elsewhere. Objectivity During the ''Irving v Penguin Books and Lipstadt'' trial, people became aware that the court needed to identify what was an "objective historian" in the same vein as the reasonable person, and reminiscent of the standard traditionally used in English law of "the man on the Clapham omnibus". This was necessary so that there would be a legal benchmark to compare and contrast the scholar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Dannevirke
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

New Zealand And The Korean War
''New Zealand and the Korean War'' is the official history of New Zealand's role in the Korean War. The series consists of two volumes; the first, published in 1992, dealt with New Zealand's strategy and diplomacy in the war while the second, published four years later, covered New Zealand military's combat operations during the conflict. Both volumes were written by Ian McGibbon. Development and publication New Zealand expended considerable effort in producing its official history of the Second World War, the last volume of which was published in 1986. This delayed efforts to record the country's contributions to the postwar conflicts in which it was involved, such as the Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953. Despite this, there had been an intention to produce an official history of New Zealand's role in the Korean War since the 1950s. Ian McGibbon, responsible for military history at the Historical Publications Branch of the Department of Internal Affairs, started his wo ...
