5 out of 5 stars Great, if you need it.   September 21, 2009

This is a general reference guide on how to write for historical research. As such, if you are not a confident writer or need some guidelines on how to construct an argument in a paper, do not hesitate to get a copy for your library. On the other hand, if you have a solid background in writing and know how to read and analyze a historical text, this may not be as much use to you.
