Running Your Small Business on a MAC Book

I started out loving Barbara Tuchman's book of essays. The first eight essays, on the craft of writing history, sent me over the moon.

My ardor went down just a degree or two in the next section, which might be described as history in small chunks. Although the final section, in which she comments about (1960-1970) current affairs, yields nuggets, I found myself in disagreement with Tuchman and disengaged with her writing.

It seems to me the further away the period about which she writes, e.g. Medieval times, the Great War, the more I like her. That said, I would have no qualms recommending this book to an aspiring writer or an avid student of history.
