In my series Things I Like, I have already featured two history podcasters: Mike Duncan and David Crowther. Each of them has a distinctive style and focuses on very different themes. Duncan’s The History of Rome and Revolutions are exceptional. I highly recommend listening to the entire series of Revolutions to get a wonderful overview […]

I KNOW nothing should surprise us these days about dumbed-down Britain. But an article on the moronic Mail Online website the other day had me choking on my cornflakes. It read: ‘In 2020, Mandy Lieu, 38, bought 935-acre Ewhurst Park in Hampshire, once owned by the inventor of the wellington boot, the Duke of Wellington, and vowed […]
This isn’t the worst piece I’ve ever read on the border issue but it’s not the best either. The main failure is summed up in the headline: “Forget about securing the border. It won’t work.” In order to prove this point, the author points back to some recent history and botches it. We’ll get to […]

In the annals of writing history, there are a handful of volumes that have become established as models due to tone, insightful content, and excellence of style. The most recent historical work by Jacques Barzun is such a work. It is a cultural history of the highest standard. As a historical volume of such scope, […]
Philadelphia’s “Welcome Park” sits on the location of William Penn’s home in that city – known as the Slate Roof House.

Growing up, I learned very little history. I suspect this is a failing of the American education system. Even in college–I went to an elite private liberal arts college–I wasn’t required to study any history, and I was under the misimpression that history was learning the names and dates of various monarchs and the wars […]
Matthew Karp, a history professor at Princeton, wrote an interesting thread on what has happened to his academic discipline over the past few years. Interesting and unsurprisingly very troubling.
