The year 2015 was our best ever. Online, we published 200 articles by scores of expert writers and welcomed 1.1 million unique readers. Our existing content has become an authoritative source with high search rankings, ensuring that our articles reach researchers and fact-finders around the world. In print, we published our 2015 Annual Volume and it sold out within weeks. A second printing is in the works and will hopefully be available in late winter or early spring. In case you missed it, earlier this week we announced Independence Lost by Kathleen DuVal as our 2015 Book of the Year Award winner.
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…

Editors,
While I am happy to see one of my articles at no. 16, please be sure to add Don Hagist’s name to it. I’ll take credit for the POW article on Christopher French, but it was Don who suggested we do a separate one in advance that addressed overall POW issues. Plus, he was the one who graciously loaned me some literature that made the French article possible, as well as adding some editing flourishes. It was a team effort. Thanks.
Shucks, Gary – editors neither ask for nor receive credit; all part of the job.
But thanks!
Don,
You are like a god to me! Carry on!
