Pardon Me for Being a Historian
2010
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Australian Historical Studies , June vol. 41 no. 2 2010; (p. 233-240) ‘What are the origins of recent calls for a retrospective pardon for Harry ‘Breaker’ Morant and the two other Australian found guilty of murder during the Boer War of 1899-1902? Who’s behind the calls, what course have they taken, and what success might they find? Whatever the calls’ result, historians should resist the underlying rejection of evidence and imagination in favour of patriotic platitudes and narrow legalism.’ (Publisher’s abstract p. 233) -
