...feels guilty about it. Real historians have every right to be disappointed in the work's brevity, but it's a godsend for anyone who wants a short read and craves history that flows more like gossip.

But in order to investigate you have to be able to step back far enough from something to see it for what it is. All of the most absurd things in history went largely unquestioned, because people were already indoctrinated in them. It would be something like going to the Coliseum if you were a Roman. The fact that people were getting killed and eaten by lions didn't seem...
