Synopsis
John Vincent's comprehensive examination of the evolution of history as a discipline and its underlying philosophy is essential reading for anyone interested in the history they were never taught in the classroom.
Exploring the nature of historical evidence, meaning and imagination, together with morality, causality, bias and hindsight, Professor Vincent gets to the very heart of the complex issues raised, writing with trademark wit and lucidity to provide a compelling and controversial guide.

Review
"'a clever, wilful, self-consciously quirky little book' - Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph; 'The sheer effrontery of the tone gives the book a clear edge over much of the competition...' - Michael Bentley, TLS; 'A good book to give anyone thinking of reading history, or fed up with the way it is studied or written' - The Spectator"
