Book
In defence of history / Ricahrd J. Evans.
"In the modern era of relativism, scepticism and so-called alternative facts, the idea of historical truth is under threat. Richar J. Evans mounts an impassioned and brilliant case for the defence. Taking us into the historian's workshop to show how history is best studied, researched, written and read, this is the book that makes clear the deadly political dangers of losing a historical perspective grounded in truth and the pursuit of facts."--Book cover
