Finding the story in history . . .
Thirty short pieces by sixteen new writers demonstrate how writing turns information into history. The writers combine personal observation with intellectual analysis, close observation with detailed research, and the satisfaction of knowledge with the excitement of inquiry. They tell stories about what happened, what it felt like and how we know about it.
Above all they demonstrate why history interests us and why it matters.
