Dangerous Games by Margaret Macmillan Chapter One The History Grace History and not necessarily the sort that professional historians are doing. It's widely popular these days.

Adult tricycles for amusement. History can be helpful in making sense of the world we live in. It can also be fascinating. Even fun.
