"Cheese and the Worms" and "Night Battles" were two of the books that did the most to help me appreciate history as a rich and dense (and yes, weird!) subject; and also historiography.

The Cheese and the Worms is triumphant as a pioneering book in microhistory and narrative history, but I have also especially loved it for Ginsburg’s willingness to remind us that history is _weird._
