Under the onslaught of postmodernist theory, the profession of history is in crisis, its assumptions derided and its methods rejected as outmoded. Richard J Evans mounts a brilliant and compellingly effective defence of the historian's capacity to reach genuine insights about past events. He takes us into the historians' workshop to show just how good history gets written, and explains the deadly political dangers of losing a historical perspective on the way we live our lives.

This is a book for anyone who loves history, anyone concerned about the fashionable dismissal of historical understanding, and all those studying the subject.
