Calling Those Error-Prone ‘Old Historians’ to Account
History Wars Peter O’Brien The term ‘history wars’ is an artificial construct designed by what historian Dr Michael Connor refers to as ‘the old historians’, or the history establishment, to demean any attempt by those who refuse to toe to the party line.
