"Academic historians often have an easier time creating good scholarly writing than they do explaining how to someone else how to do it. This book is here to help. It will be useful not only in classes focusing on the writing process but as a reference for all history students."--Ruth M. Karras, Distinguished Teaching Professor of History, University of Minnesota "Antonova's book beats other history writing guides because it addresses virtually every type of historical writing assignment. It instructs students how to read, comprehend, and synthesize historical scholarship, and thoroughly demystifies the writing process. I look forward to assigning this book to my students." --E. Taylor Atkins, Distinguished Teaching Professor of History, Northern Illinois University
