Product Description
Book Jacket
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.

About the Book
"In Defence of History gave me much pleasure from the beginning...it's also brilliantly readable--as all history, and all references to it, should be." -- Antonia Fraser, Guardian
"Evans takes us on a fascinating journey during which we observe a top-class professional labouring to make sense out of the past, addressing the question of sources, causation and the place of moral judgement in history." --John Charmley, Daily Telegraph
"Lucid and vivacious enough to make the most abstruse philosophical arguments interesting (and intelligible) to the average school student."--Ronald Hutton, Times Education Supplement
Synopsis
Written at a time of scepticism about our ability to learn from the past, this work reveals why history is possible and necessary. Quashing the claims of postmodern historians who deny the possibility of any realistic grasp of history, Evans explains the dangers of losing a historical perspective.
