for me is "alive" Its a little dismaying the tone that reading history is not alive. I have just read the Diary of William E. Dodd, Ambassador to Germany from 1933 to 1938. He is constantly complaining that Ambassador so and so does not know his history. Dodd was a History professor. I am not convinced he knew enough history, particularly about Bismarck and the Prussians. I'm looking for a good book on Otto Von Bismarck. And I'm wondering how much agreement among historians is justifiably grounded.
