[haw-info] links to recent articles of interest

[Jim O'Brien]

To members and friends of Historians Against the War,

This is the latest in the series of biweekly mailings that we started in
September, linking to recent articles on HAW-relevant topics, either written
by historians or written by others but providing historical background.
Suggestions can be sent to jimobrien48 at gmail.com.  The working group for
this project consists of Matt Bokovoy, Carolyn (Rusti) Eisenberg, Jim
O'Brien, Maia Ramnath, and Sarah Shields.
