A Student's Guide to the Study of History A Student’s Guide to the Study of History, by John Lukacs, ISI Books, 2000.

To study history is to learn about oneself. And to fail to grasp the importance of the past—to remain ignorant of the deeds and writings of previous generations—is to bind oneself by the passions and prejudices of the age into which one is born. John Lukacs, one of today’s most widely published historians, explains what the study of history entails, how it has been approached over the centuries, and why it should be undertaken by today’s students. This study guide is an invitation to become a master of the historian’s craft.

John Lukacs taught history at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia until his recent retirement. He held visiting professorships at many universities, including Columbia, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Pennsylvania. A prolific author, he has written more than twenty books, including: Five Days in London, May 1940; A Thread of Years; The Hitler of History; and The End of the Twentieth Century and the End of the Modern Age, which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. He is the recipient of many academic honors and awards.
