To what extent can we rely on their interpretations of the past?</p><p><em>Histories and Fallacies</em> is a primer on the conceptual and methodological problems in the discipline of history. Historian Carl Trueman presents a series of classic historical problems as a way to examine what history is, what it means, and how it can be told and understood. Each chapter in <em>Histories and Fallacies</em> gives an account of a particular problem, examines classic examples of that problem, and then suggests a solution or approach that will bear fruit for the writer or reader of history.</p><p>Readers who follow Trueman's deft writing will not just be learning theory but will already be practicing fruitful approaches to history. <em>Histories and Fallacies</em> guides both readers and writers of history away from dead ends and methodological mistakes, and into a fresh confidence in the productive nature of the historical task.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Carl R.
