Use and Abuse of History has become a key text of current
historiography; this is a book that poses fundamental and
disturbing questions about the use and abuse of history. Engaging
and challenging, this book confronts the reader with the many
'histories' that exist and have existed around the world, from the
Zulu kingdoms to Communist China. This title has now been
extensively revised by Marc Ferro, a well respected historian, and
presents the different narratives that constitute the histories of
countries as diverse as India, Iran, Trinidad and the United States
makes for fascinating reading in their own right. What makes this
book so valuable, though, is what these narratives tell us about
the societies which create them - how much is history distorted in
order to condition the minds of those who are taught it? Use and
Abuse of History appeals to anyone with a general interested in
history.
