Master historian Barbara W. Tuchman looks at history in a unique way and draws lessons from what she sees. This accessible introduction to the subject of history offers striking insights into American's past and present, trenchant observations on the international scene, and thoughtful pieces on the historian's role. History should not just be a series of facts, names, and dates—it should be a flowing narrative, the story of humanity, written as vividly as a novel.

Here is a splendid body of work, the story of a lifetime spent "practicing history."

Eleştirmen yorumları

“A book to celebrate…A delight to read.”

(New York Times Book Review)

“The essays about writing in Practicing History are an invaluable and charming tutorial for those interested in learning the historian’s craft. History students, especially those entering graduate study, would be well advised to steep themselves in her advice.”

(Wall Street Journal)

“Persuades and enthralls…I can think of no better primer for the nonexpert who wishes to learn history.”

(Chicago Sun-Times)

“Provocative, consistent, and beautifully readable, an event not to be missed by history buffs.”

(Baltimore Sun)

“I was then, and am still, in awe of her ability to write history and make it readable. This volume of essays is no exception.”

(International Social Science Review)

This was far better than I expected although I am a fan of Ms Tuchman. There was essay after essay explaining events I remember with the incisive eye and mind you get in her pure works of history.
