      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      Professional historians usually have lots of help in thinking about, researching, and writing their books. In formal acknowledgments they customarily thank fellow professors, graduate assistants, support staff, funding entities, and others who aided them.

      They also absolve everyone but themselves from any responsibility
