Why study history? What's the point? Through compelling historical
narratives, such as the assassination of President Kennedy, Dr
David Nash introduces us to the central elements of the subject.
Readers learn how history seeks to explain, categorise and make
sense of events of the past. It is a search for truth which
involves searching for sources and then scrutinising them to try
and determine how reliable they are. Nash explores how new
interpretations can change our understanding of what was previously
an established version of history and what lasting contribution the
study of history can make to society and, indeed, civilisation.
Ideal for those with an emerging interest in history, the book is
designed to provide readers with a toolkit for further
investigation of the subject.
