From the Introduction: This book began as an attempt to bring more life to the reading and learning of history. As young historians we have been troubled by a growing disinterest or even animosity toward the study of the past. . . . Perhaps we thought if lay readers and students understood better how historians go about their work - how they examine evidence, how they pose questions, and how they reach answers - history would engage them as it does us.
