The Killing of History: How Literary Critics and Social Theorists are Murdering Our Past by Keith Windschuttle

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Marks on foredges. Interior and binding are still very good.

The Killing of History argues that history today is in the clutches of literary and social theorists who have little respect for or training in the discipline. Windshuttle shows how these theorists deny the existence of truth and substitute radically chic theorising for real knowledge about the past. The result is revolutionary and unprecedented. Contemporary historians are increasingly obscuring the facts on which truth about the past is built. (back cover)
