The Landscape of History: How Historians Map the Past by John Lewis Gaddis

challenging hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

3.25

Gaddis wrote a book that achieved what he aimed for it to do; which was to understand history as a scholarly study by many branching faces. The pace is dragged down exponentially by the obnoxious amounts of metaphors used, however he addresses this fact himself late in the book. While I read this for a history course, it honestly is not a bad read and often gives the time to fully wrap around an argument before moving to the next. It is a good way to expand your understanding of the reasons why and how history has become a scholarly study so important to society.
