Historians' Fallacies : Toward a Logic of Historical Thought

Editorial Reviews
--New York Times Book Review
"An important book...in terms of helping an entire generation of scholars who profess to have lost confidence in being historians."

Book Description
"If one laughs when David Hackett Fischer sits down to play, one will stay to cheer. His book must be read three times: the first in anger, the srcond in laughter, the third in respect....The wisdom is expressed with a certin ruthlessness. Scarcly a major historian escapes unscathed. Ten thousand members of the AmericanHistorical Association will rush to the index and breathe a little easier to find their names absent.
