About the Author:
To understand and appreciate the current state of the world, we need to know history—ancient as well as modern. But how much of what we "knoW" is actually true? Two examples: Adolf Hitler was not a German, but was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire; and Deng Xiaoping, head of Communist China, called for China's economic modernization through an infusion of capitalism.
Frank W. Thackeray is professor emeritus of history at Indiana University Southeast, New Albany.
John E. Findling is professor emeritus of history at Indiana University Southeast, New Albany.
