During this semester you are responsible for a book analysis. You will select a historical monograph (scholarly work) on a topic relevant to our course. Please see the syllabus for due dates.
The book analysis will consist of the following parts:
1. Proper Chicago Manual of Style citation for the book.
2. Brief summary of the author’s credentials: Education, positions held, prior works, awards, etc.
3. Thesis statement
4. A summary of the author’s topic and arguments. Be sure to include the type of sources and methodologies employed by the author. Is the work, for example, primarily political, military, cultural, or social history? Does the author primarily employ quantitative or qualitative methods to explore the topic? Literary analysis? Art? State department documents? Oral accounts? See the following video lecture for more on historical methodology: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/history/21h-931-seminar-in-historical-methods-spring-2004/video-lectures/session-2/
5. Discuss the structure of the book. Is it organized chronologically? By topic? From General to specific? Geographically? Discuss whether you think this organization was effective, and support your argument.
6. Analyze the historical evidence used by the author. Did the author use this evidence to effectively support his/her thesis? Were the author’s sources primarily primary or secondary sources? Support your opinion.
7. Discuss whether the author’s arguments convincing, when taken as a whole. Were certain parts convincing, while other points were less so? Support your arguments.
