Great Impact I will be 87 on my next birthday. During my life I have seen so many promising organizations come and go. I hope this will not happen with the IHR. Mind you, in the time you have been with us, from 1978, the Institute has made an impact greater than many other organizations….

Profound Effect I'm enclosing a check for $50 to assist the Institute in carrying on its work.

Hollywood and the Spanish Civil War For decades Hollywood and the rest of the American media have routinely portrayed the “loyalist” side in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) in an admiring and sympathetic way. Good examples of such propaganda distortion of history are two widely praised wartime motion pictures. In “Casablanca,” the 1942 Warner Brothers…

Havel and “Ethnic Cleansing” In his Independence Hall speech (published in the Sept.-Oct. 1994 Journal), Vaclav Havel said that “the Creator gave man the right to liberty.” Does Mr. Havel live by those words? As President of the Czech Republic, he has deplored the forced expulsion of 3.5 million ethnic Germans from Czechoslovakia, and the…

Corrective Power Richard Phillip's letter [in the May-June Journal, pp. 46-47] is an excellent illustration of the corrective power of historical revisionism. However, a few of his points require correction. German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck tried to appease France over the issue of Alsace-Lorraine, and nearly succeeded in reaching a reconciliation. It is not true…

Lincoln: A “Clever Politician”? Although Robert Morgan's look at Abraham Lincoln's negro policy [in the September-October 1993 Journal] is a thought-provoking example of revisionist writing, I believe the author has overlooked alternative explanations for Lincoln's decisions and policies. Consider, for example, Morgan's portrayal of Lincoln's personal feelings about blacks. Morgan cites these words of Lincoln…
