Abstract

The author discusses his thoughts on the teaching of contemporary military history based on his experiences as a teacher of military history in various venues as of summer 2012. He discusses accurate available source material and the need for historians to find new information sources, the necessity of teachers refraining from advocating individual interpretations of current events, and why teachers who avoid contemporary topics are doing their students a disservice.
