Dear Carlos The war is the brutal means, where always it loses weakest, it is or nonright. The historian must present/display the facts with cold criterion, although always he will tend to defend the cause that in his opinion is right. That is the commitment with same himself. If the historian takes political party, runs the risk of stopping being historian and to become politician. He leaves the narration by the performance, and soon he will narrate what acted. The historian must take care of itself it jeopardize when the power arrives to him, if it is that it arrives to him if still is idealistic, because the power as a rule, that admits exceptions, corrupts. You want to know people Dale to be able. Taken care of with the disappointment of the commitment! Juan Antonio Ordóñez González.

Estimado Carlos La guerra es el medio brutal, donde siempre pierde el más débil, tenga o no razón. El historiador debe presentar los hechos con criterio frío, aunque siempre tenderá a defender la causa que a su juicio es justa. Ese es el compromiso consigo mismo. Si el historiador toma partido político, corre el riesgo de dejar de ser historiador y convertirse en político. Deja la narración por la actuación, y luego narrará lo que actuó. Debe cuidarse el historiador comprometido cuando le llegue el poder, si es que le llega si aún es idealista, pues el poder por regla general, que admite excepciones, corrompe. Quieres conocer a una gente Dale poder. ¡Cuidado con la desilusión del compromiso! Juan Antonio Ordóñez González.
