Historian on TV

That would be me. Not really tv, just a clip on the web from last Tuesday's History orientation for high school students. We run a class and discussion the way we would for our own students, so that prospective students can get an idea of what it would be like to study with us. I did my current research topic--the Dutch role in NATO's 1979 Dual-track decision on intermediate nuclear weapons--also because it provided an opportunity to draw parallels (and identify differences) with today's debate over a new Dutch mission to Afghanistan (more about that soon). It's all in Dutch, but you can just feel the excitement.
