Working with the American Council of Learned Societies and Oxford University Press, Garraty oversaw the work of more than 6,000 contributors to determine who should be included (especially regarding the addition of women and ethnic minorities) and how sensitive or widely-believed-but-inconclusive data should be handled. Garraty had edited several supplements to the predecessor, the Dictionary of American Biography (1974-88) when he realized that the original work had become so dated, unwieldy, unbalanced, and even inaccurate in light of new discoveries, that only a completely new version could remedy its flaws. Garraty was best known as the general editor of the massive American National Biography (1999), a work of such scope that its index of representative occupations alone runs to 200 pages. Some were histories of the United States many were biographies of the American men and women who made history, for better or worse.

Therefore, it was somewhat unexpected that the most memorable scenes turned out to be those very few showing the young Spike suffering from what a generation earlier would have been described as shell shock and one later as post-traumatic stress disorder.

Spike Milligan's Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall has been adapted by Ben Power and director Tim Carroll as "an entertainment" from the six volumes of wartime memoirs written by the Irish comedian. Where McGuinness addressed the tragedy of conflict head-on, the future Goon uses surreal comedy to express his own experiences as an ordinary Tommy. After the triumph of Frank McGuinness' Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme, Spike Milligan's take on the Second World War could hardly be more different.

In the midst of the controversy, Guatemala is still struggling to consolidate its fragile peace and to find ways of addressing the legacies of 36 years of war. On December 15, The New York Times ran a front-page story reporting on the controversy, and sent one of its sleuthing reporters to Guatemala to corroborate some of Stoll's findings. Last fall, anthropologist David Stoll, a professor at Middlebury College, published a book entitled Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans (Westview Press, 1998), in which he questions many aspects of Rigoberta's life story presented in I, Rigoberta Menchú: An Indian Woman in Guatemala (Verso, 1984).
