The Nation-State: Durability Through Change
Debates With Toynbee: Herzog, Talmon, Friedman
The article focuses on three separate debates held between Arnold Toynbee and Yaacov Talmon, Yaacov Herzog, and Isaiah Friedman.

Friedman's debate was not ideological, but professional, academic, historical, and based upon diplomatic document…

Cross Purposes: British Reactions to the German Anti-Nazi Opposition
The treatment of all aspects of German resistance is saturated with a moralistic approach. Moral judgment came back into historiography with a vengeance, after decades of banishment, with the Nuremberg Trials.

Their style and content are recognizable in subsequent historical writings, a…
