This is one of the most important books i own. As a history major, i have used this book on literally every paper i have ever written since having it. If your a history major or just a student who has to write a lot of papers, this book has everything!
This book was required in my Thesis course and it helped me actually focus my research and paper into simple steps. Thanks to this book my thesis got an A!
