Book Description:

The Killing of History argues that history today is in the clutches of literary and social theorists who have little respect for or training in the discipline. Windschuttle shows how these theorists deny the existence of truth and substitute radically chic theorizing for real knowledge about the past. The result is revolutionary and unprecedented: contemporary historians are increasingly obscuring the facts on which truth about the past is built. The Killing of History offers a devastating expose of these developments and leads us into a series of fascinating case histories that demonstrate exactly how imperiled traditional history has become. - from the back cover
