Description:

"Those who cannot remember the past," the philosopher George Santayana declared, "are condemned to repeat it." But Henry Ford observed, "History is more or less bunk." Somewhere between these extremes lies the truth and importance of historical scholarship. Somewhere between these extremes lies the vast range of opinion, criticism, and timeless wisdom of the great historians. In short, somewhere between these extremes lies.... The Quotable Historian is an invaluable resource for students, speechwriters, teachers, and trivia buffs of all kinds, The Quotable Historian is a Bartlett's for the historical set. By turns inspiring and celebratory, heartbreaking and poignant, lighthearted and outright hilarious, Alan Axelrod's endlessly fascinating collection delivers over a thousand different perspectives on nearly three thousand years of human experience.
