Description
In an era of relativism and scepticism, the concept of historical truth is facing a significant challenge. Richard J. Evans presents a compelling case for the importance of defending history against the erosion of fact-based understanding.
Evans explores the historian's craft, revealing the methods and principles that underpin the pursuit of historical knowledge. By examining the ways in which history is researched, written, and read, he highlights the dangers of losing a historical perspective grounded in truth and the pursuit of facts.
This book offers a timely and thought-provoking defence of the importance of historical truth, and its relevance to our understanding of the world today.
