My other blog, Mammoth Tales, is all mammoths and science, all the time.

Bad History

History & Policy has started a series called Bad History aimed at dismantling historical myths in contemporary discourse and at exposing the spinning of history for political and PR purposes. The series is written by professional historians, members of the History & Policy Network. Most of the pieces, so far, deal with the misuse of history in British discourse but they should be of interest to anyone interested in history, rhetoric, and propaganda.
