When Eugene Rogan wrote The Fall of the Ottoman Empire: The Great War in the Middle East, he created a challenge for himself that many writers would not dare to attempt. Instead of sticking with a single theme, Rogan changed his narrative throughout the book to show the different perspectives of the countries involved in the war. This multi-sided writing tactic is not communally seen in books covering this era, because the amount of authentic documentation is highly skewed to the Western…
History is not a massively interesting topic for some people, but understanding it is requisite in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Some authors write in a less factual manner, novelizing events and going so far as to interpret them slightly or weave their own opinions in to assist those who are less adept at inferring their meaning.

We have learned many lessons throughout history, sometimes honoring the things that we wish would never happen. From Columbus discovering the “New World” in 1492 to embarrassing or inhibited historic events such as racial discrimination and civil war, the world has changed in many ways due to certain historical events both good and bad.

It would not, however, have been genuinely offensive. More then the violence itself, The fact that the perpetrator of this violence is not only one of the mane six,…
losing approximately $1 million dollars every day due to outdated processes and high overhead costs (Katzenbach, Steffen, & Kronley, 2012). Aetna’s culture attributed to the majority of the problems it faced. The company had a 150-year cultural history that it valued and avoided changing. It even had a nickname – “Mother Aetna” – and it encouraged employees to maintain the status quo, avoid risk, and be suspicious (Katzenbach et al., 2012). Dr. John Rowe joined Aetna in late 2000 as its fourth…

In this essay I wish to discuss how Woolf brings history and fiction together in Orlando to reveal the limitations of Victorian historiography and biography. Orlando doesn’t focus on literature’s preoccupation with history but focuses on fiction’s engagement with the discipline of history itself,it illustrates the ways that narrative fiction challenges the authority of information documented by professional historical biography in the twentieth century. The perspective that I have chosen to…
