Review: I particularly liked the practical examples given and the section on how to structure your book. I read the book in advance of starting a local history book and I'm sure that it will save me making some mistakes.

Review: Comes at writing history from a left-wing, politically correct perspective. The text is interlaced with social justice claptrap and the authors are clearly postmodernist PC drones. That said, the book still has some value, but I opted for a refund as I found the constant insertion of political correctness to be annoying and distracting. The authors would have done better to steer clear of the social justice warrior garbage and focus solely on the topic of the book: how to write history. Instead, they opted to let their own politics infiltrate what otherwise might have been a useful and instructive book.
