The myths about children in history book review
A skeptical critique of a psychohistorical study by Barend van de Mause on parent child relations over 2000 years. The review faults the authors for relying on myth and conjecture, noting scant Roman data and ambivalent depictions from Christianity through the modern era. It praises later chapters for data but argues overall sympathy is missing and conclusions overstate social progress.

Guns And Heroes Review Of War Books Inconsistent Portraits
A mixed examination of World War II literature contrasts John Williams The Guns of Dakar with No More Heroes by Charles Given and Wellesley Aron’s Wheels on the Storm.

The review cites execution, censorship, and the resilience of the Royal Navy as central threads, with attention to political missteps and acts of courage shaping the war’s narrative.
