Barbara Tuckman, a journalist during World War II, wrote in her book, Stillman and the American Experience in China: 1911-45, how the American government used American journalists to ‘work for the war effort’ by holding back information, giving them false information and even asking journalists to provide false information.

One of the chief complaints about history is that there is too much memorization of boring facts and dates. But let me tell you a secret: I graduated from college with a degree in European history without ever purposefully memorizing a single date.
