Everyone knows history is written by the winners, but that cliche misses a crucial detail: Over time, the winners are always the progressives.

It might take seventy years, but it always happens eventually. Serious historians are, almost without exception, self-styled progressives. Radical views--even the awful ones--improve with age.
