Résumé
A thoughtful look at the value of learning from the past: &“Nobody has done more than John Lukacs to turn the short history book into an art form&” (Antony Beevor, Toronto Globe & Mail). To study history is to learn about… oneself. And to fail to grasp the importance of the past—to remain ignorant of the deeds and writing of previous generations—is to bind oneself by the passions and prejudices of the age into which one is born. John Lukacs, one of today&’s most widely published historians, explains what the study of history entails, how it has been approached over the centuries, and why it should be undertaken by today&’s students. This guide is an invitation to become a master of the historian&’s craft.
