Dear readers:

H-Net is beginning a new phase of its mission to the humanities and social sciences by sponsoring and supporting Open Access peer-reviewed journals supported by our networks and related scholarly organizations.  Much credit goes to the journal editors, the H-Net home office staff, President Patrick Cox, our Vice Presidents for Research and Publications Robert Cassanello and Dominique Daniel, and especially to Dr. Yelena Kalinsky, H-Net's Associate Director for Research & Publications for shepherding this through its maiden voyage.

The editorial team is excited to share two wonderful professional opportunities with our membership.

Book review; cross-posted from H-Borderlands

Author: Peter Polak-Springer

Reviewer: Stefanie M. Woodard

Peter Polak-Springer. Recovered Territory: A German-Polish Conflict over Land and Culture, 1919-1989. New York: Berghahn Books, 2015. xxi + 280 pp. $100.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-78238-887-6.

Guadalcanal was a campaign, not a battle.

Other than that I hope this new work removes more tired myths than it perpetuates.

The author and reviewer also seem unaware of the vast oral history resources still to be plumbed out there, many of which D.M. Giangreco and I used in _Eyewitness Pacific Theater_ (Sterling 2008). But it takes work to find them, read them, and organize the information.

Vr, John
