[Jim O'Brien]

 To members and friends of Historians Against the War,   This is the fourth
biweekly mailing of links to recent articles by historians on HAW-relevant

background on these.  Suggestions for inclusion are welcome: they can be
sent to jimobrien48 at gmail.com.  Members of the working group for this
project are listed below.   Sincerely, Matt Bokovoy, Carolyn (Rusti)
