History Today September 2010

We here at the Fondation Napoléon have been keeping a very close eye on the key debate that has been raging in the UK for a while now: namely, that of the role of History in children's education today. The September 2010 issue of History Today (UK)features an editorial from Paul Lay in which he describes his disappointment at the continued belief within the educational establishment that history has to be 'relevant' to the child before it can be considered useful.
 
Elsewhere, there is an interesting little article on the life and death of Count Folke Bernadotte, the Swedish humanitarian and direct descendant of Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, who was assassinated in 1948 by the Jewish extremist group Lehi during a ceasefire mission to Jerusalem.
