A thoughtful look at the value of learning from the past: â Nobody has done more than John Lukacs to turn the short history book into an art formâ (Antony Beevor, Toronto Globe & Mail). To study history is to learn about oneself. And to fail to grasp the importance of the pastâto remain ignorant of the deeds and writing of previous generationsâis to bind oneself by the passions and prejudices of the age into which one is born. John Lukacs, one of todayâs 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 todayâs students. This guide is an invitation to become a master of the historianâs craft.
