 Lord Acton on the Historian
Lord Acton is rightly remembered as the historian of liberty in the context of religion and conscience, and primarily applied to politics and political thought.
Acton's political views were formed by his work and experience as an historian, his discovery of the historian's need for intellectual liberty, which led to his larger concern for liberty in all spheres in which conscience might be involved.
It may seem odd that the historian of political liberty should have first confronted the Church rather than the State, but in the latter nineteenth century Acton did not have to defend intellectual liberty against the State.

 Revisionist Historians
For many of us, the term "revisionist historians" recalls distasteful memories from the 1970s of Holocaust deniers who called themselves "revisionists." One hopes that in resorting to this phrase now, the president's associates are not seeking to falsely and maliciously link present-day critics of the administration to those who misrepresented the past for nefarious ends.
Almost all the historians I know of who maintain that the evidence for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction or support for Al Qaeda is ambiguous or false were saying the same things six months or a year ago.
But even if they are not guilty of such an insinuation, by misusing the term "revisionist historians" to derisively deflect criticism, Condoleeza Rice and her cohorts are denigrating a legitimate and essential activity of historians.

 Social scientists, other
Historians, political scientists, and sociologists will find jobs in policy or research.
Political scientists will be able to utilize their knowledge of political institutions to further the interests of nonprofit, political lobbying, and social organizations.
Employment of geographers, historians, political scientists, and sociologists will grow more slowly than average, mainly because these workers enjoy fewer opportunities outside of government and academic settings.

 War Historian: Flogging the Blog
A Google search of "War Historian" AND "grimsley" led me to a few additional sites, most notably Chez Nadezhda, a blog intended as "a space to share conversations, books, photos and resources on foreign affairs, national security, nation-building, rule of law, political economy, history, religions and beliefs, communication and cultures."
This proved a major find, because although I've as yet had little time to read it, Tom Barnett's The Pentagon's New Map is obviously a major subject of discussion on it.
