DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HISTORY Updated and Revised

DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HISTORY was the first of what's now a series of books educating the public about complex topics through an accessible question-and-answer format. Here author Kenneth Davis has extensively revised the first edition. The revision was driven by questions from past readers, and this gives a great deal of energy to the book. The narrators work hard to communicate Davis's passion. They seem to really be asking the questions and to be driving home the follow-up questions as if the details deeply mattered, which, of course, they do. Passages from historical texts provide a counterpoint, anchoring Davis's answers within historical periods and letting listeners hear bits of period perspective.
