Product Description

''Not only our most distinguished historian but also one of the most valuable contributors to historical theory'' Spectator

In answering the question, ''what is history?'', E. H. Carr''s acclaimed and influential bestseller shows that the facts of history are simply those which the historian selects for scrutiny. His fluent and hugely wide-ranging account of the nature of history and the role of the historian argues that all history is to some degree subjective, written by individuals who are above all people of their own time.

''Lively and controversial, full of wit and humour, E. H. Carr''s What Is History? played a central role in the historiographical revolution in the 1960s'' Richard J. Evans


With an introduction by Richard J. Evans, author of the Third Reich trilogy.
