Sobre este artículo
NY, Knopf, 1981.. Soft cover. Good. Octavo, softcover, VG red pictorial wraps. 306 tanned pp. Tuchman divides her book into three parts. First, "The Craft", in which she sets forth her view of the actual writing of history: the means, the techniques, and the opportunities of her metier. Second, "The Yield", in which she presents a wide range of subjects. Finally, the section "Learning from History". All but two of the essays in this book have been previously published. There is also a brief, charming essay on libraries and the "rare thrill in research, " and an exploration of the problems she encountered while writing her biography of Stillwell. A quote from this book: "But with all sorts of people being encouraged to ramble effortlessly and endlessly into a tape recorder, prodded daily by an acolyte of Oral History, some veins of gold and a vast mass of trivia are being preserved which would otherwise have gone to dust.
