Description

History occupies a paradoxical and problematic place in contemporary American culture. Numerous commentators argue that we face a growing crisis of historical amnesia and that Americans do not value and support history as much as previous generations. Imperfect Past, Volume II: More History in a New Light, is a compilation of essays, organized in sections that demonstrate that history is, indeed, more compelling. Bryan is a specialist in Civil War history, and many of his essays cover that crucial event in the American experience. Other essays cover a wide-ranged of topics and insightful essays derived from his long and distinguished career as a public historian. Readers will learn how books changed the course of American history; what makes a president great; and other subjects that will help readers see the past and the present in a new light. Imperfect Past, Volume II, has something for almost anyone who loves history and appreciates it from different perspectives.
