Talk:Ludo Martens

message: It's tough to find any other historians who even notice Martens' existence (positively or negatively), but I'm going to record what I find here, for reference:
* At University of East Anglia the Stalin book is listed among "useful" online books, summarized as "Stalin apologist makes his case"
* At Sam Houston State it's in the reading list, called "An Apology for Stalinism"
* At Leiden it's in the "useful" list but not characterized further.
* At St. Lawrence University, it just says "read the section that interests you".
* At Baylor, listed only
* At Kenyon College they mostly seem excited that the book is online
More as I find 'em, although when one filters out wikipedia mirrors, the number of Martens cites drops way down... Stan 18:02, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  How Martens is viewed by other historians 

message: Both the French and Dutch wikipedia has his birthdate as 12th of March 1946. I changed it to that. 80.202.93.131 12:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birthyear 

message: I cannot help noticing the huge differences between this article, which incorrectly presents Ludo Martens as a historian, and the ducth version, which puts the emphasis on his career as a political activist and places his books in that context. As someone familiar with the life & works of Martens, I have to point out that the dutch article is more correct. Martens was in no way a proper historian. He had no academic qualifications in this field and no connection to a university or other academic institutions. His books on historical subjects are essentially apologetic and polemical works in the service of his ideological convictions. As it stands, this article is misleading, and probably deliberately so. I propose replacing it by a translation of the dutch version. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.212.29.93 (talk • contribs) 08:56, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
