This is really a very cynical view of what it takes to be a history professor. Lots of behind the scenes stuff. The last chapter, though, is way out of step with the rest of the book.

Surprised that for someone writing a book about writing a book, there are plenty of editing mistakes: “due” for “do”, “chock” for “chalk”, etc. Also a revered Hebrew word.
