[Jim O'Brien]

To members and friends of Historians Against the War,   On behalf of the HAW
Steering Committee, we plan to send a message every two weeks with links to
on-line articles that provide historical background on HAW-relevant topics.
Suggestions for inclusion are welcome: they can be sent to

listed below.   Sincerely, Matt Bokovoy Carolyn (Rusti) Eisenberg Jim
