Shot Glass of History Blog


At Shot Glass of History we hope to enjoy a strong and refreshing dose of historical rethinking. Abandoning the modern hagiography that divides history into saints and devils, and beyond the political right/left division, we want to seriously analyze events and characters within their own historical context. History is far more complex and interesting than the bumper sticker version so often taught in school.

If you like the articles you’re reading here, and you want to learn more, or want to be able to help keep the information flowing, please like and share the articles with others, raise questions and objections in the comments, and buy and read the books mentioned.
