Looking for some good reading in 2012?
My good friend Zachary Schrag is an historian at George Mason University and has published a list of recommended reading on his blog, historyprofessor.org. These are books that professional historians admire and that also appeal to lay readers. Click here, or copy and paste this link:
http://historyprofessor.org/reading/a-laypersons-reading-list-in-american-history/
I also recommend reading his short essays on
How to Read a History Book
and
Reverse Engineering for Historians
This site ought to be required reading for any high school or college student taking a history class.
