While many latter-day historians may be a fine job of researching history, they have lost the knack of story telling, or writing in a way that history students find engaging or readable.
Most people, it seems, are not interested in reading history, at least not the history written by academic historians. Although some blame this situation on the poor teaching of history in the schools, most critics seem to think that the problem lies with the academic historians themselves. They don’t know how to write history, at least the kind of history that people want to read.
