The Lessons of History

The writing is clear and concise but the surprisingly childish view of history is genuinely insulting.

This is the first thing I've read of theirs so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt in their wider work. I assume they have produced some great bits of writing on specific areas of history where they're safe from making the mistake of naively broad generalisations justified via highly selective cherry picking.

But this book? It's a disgrace to the study of history.
