I have always tried to impart a bit of knowledge, insight or comment on political and social issues with my jokes. Some of them may be just funny, others may be shocking with a funny side or need discussion to bring out the humour in it. For example, the joke about Fanny May is just a joke. It is just funny. Jokes about the American Civil War, segregation and racism are a bit shocking but have a humorous side. They need a bit of discussion to improve the understanding of the humour. I believe that these events should always be remembered, not only in the United States but around the world. ...

The war crimes committed by General William T. Sherman and his men against Southern civilians and their means of sustaining life are a huge stain on the American national character. Sherman's crimes are routinely denied or minimized (by those who don't actually celebrate them), although they are as heavily documented, from Northern as well as Southern sources, as any event in history. A Legion of Devils: Sherman in South Carolina adds more very interesting original sources to the published record of US war crimes.

Quando a Segunda Guerra Mundial eclodiu, em 1939, o Brasil parecia muito distante do conflito tanto geográfica quanto politicamente. Na época, o país tropical, subdesenvolvido e longínquo era o destino perfeito para viajantes internacionais que desejavam fugir um pouco do clima pesado dos conflitos. Contudo, a imagem bucólica de praias maravilhosas e povo amistoso escondia uma realidade bem mais complexa.
