Those historians: Right on top of things

College protests. A Trump trial. Raging wars. Is everything ‘on fire’?

Historians confirm that this is a troubled and exceptional era.

Which seems like a perfect time to pitch a new book by Erik Larson. It's called The Demon of Unrest.

Larson is a superlative storyteller who's written a batch of riveting historical tomes, also described at the link just above.

It will appear on our books list before too long. I'm only about half finished with it now. But I (and don't we all?) know how it ends.
