I've encountered one or two military historians who don't inspire much sympathy. We probably need to work harder to integrate ourselves into history and show how relevant our work can be, instead of hiding or pretending to be an oppressed minority. Cambridge was quite scary - so much tweed and corduroy! - but so much history stuff goes on there that I'll probably be back sooner or later. I don’t blame you.
