"If one laughs when David Hackett Fischer sits down to play, one will stay to cheer. His book must be read three times: the first in anger, the srcond in laughter, the third in respect....The wisdom is expressed with a certin ruthlessness. Scarcly a major historian escapes unscathed. Ten thousand members of the AmericanHistorical Association will rush to the index and breathe a little easier to find their names absent. Review: Hilarious - Besides being an interesting and engaging critique of how historians approach their work, this book is suprisingly witty. Review: Great book for avoiding unintentional traps when writing history! - Every aspiring historian should read this book.

A great read
A super book outlining how logical fallicies play themselves out in narrative.... He's an analytical historian who considers that some value can be taken from studying the past although it's not easy; To understand causality he suggests how questions are better as opposed to why questions. Why questions by their nature are more trancendental unanswerable and abstract!

Delayed delivery
While delivery was delayed, I was expecting no less due to COVID. But the book itself ticks all the boxes

Excellent work combining both humor and logic.
This book is necessary for all students of history but professors as well. Where the mechanics of history are taught, this should be listed on the syllabus as a required text.
