This book takes a fresh look at the connection between history and
policy, proposing that historians rediscover a sense of 'public
purpose' that can embrace political decision-making - and also
enhance historical practice. Making policy is a complex and messy
affair, calling on many different forms of expertise and historians
have often been reluctant to get involved in policy advice, with
those interested in 'history in public' tending to work with
museums, heritage sites, broadcasters and community organisations.
Green notes, however, that historians have also insisted that
'history matters' in public policy debate, and been critical of
politicians' distortions or neglect of the past. She argues that it
is not possible to have it both ways.
