What is history, and why should we study it? Is there such a thing as historical truth? Is history a science? One of the most accomplished historians at work today, John Lewis Gaddis, answers these and other questions in this short, witty, and humane book. The Landscape of History provides a searching look at the historian's craft as well as a strong argument for why a historical consciousness should matter to us today.

Too much fluff
Revisado: 11-10-20
There is undoubtedly some good information in here, but it is buried among a load of nonsense. The writer seemingly uses every metaphor known to man. Most of the metaphors he uses don't even make sense in the context they are used. Then there is a lot of what seems to me like filler. I feel like he inserted a bunch of bigs words and pointless stories to make a word count. This book could have been better if was stripped down to its bare bones without all of the pomp and fluff. The narrator is extremely boring and delivers the message poorly too. This could have hurt the message the book was trying to send too. I nearly fell asleep driving listening to him. I had to speed it up to 2x normal speed just to listen to him. Pass on this one unless you a required to read it.

Among them was green young Lieutenant Pat Caruso who became de facto company commander when the five officers ranking him were killed or wounded. He led his rapidly diminishing force steadily forward for the next few days, when a day's gains were measured in yards. Caruso was eventually wounded himself and was evacuated. Realizing that the heroism of his comrades would be lost by the decimation of his unit, Caruso latched onto any paper he could find and filled every blank space with his memory of the fighting.

Good story but the narrator is terrible. It was hard to make through the whole thing due to this.
