Teaching History
Sir,—l am not a historian, but I disagree with the article in today’s issue by Professor Phillips. Apparently the lessons to be learned from history are all wrapped up in the happenings of our own nation. The tremendous changes in the Soviet Union and in China are of secondary importance. They are beneath contempt. Apart from the very mild industrial revolution, and some good work by left-wing people in Britain, there is nothing of moment in national history that compare'- with the changes that have taken place in the Socialist countries.—Yours, etc., ACADEMIA. April 8, 1960.
