Two facts leap off the page of this tome!
First, the writer must not be fluent in English. The title should not be present tense, unless the writer is writing in the news style of our major networks!
"of an old-school English don. He is known for rebuking postmodernism and the politicized "presentism" of much recent history writing."
John H. Miller, director of the Dow Journalism Program, Hillsdale College, writing in WSJ weekend edition (08-23-20-25)P/C7
Just about every network news (reader) speaks in the present tense to add immediacy to each “story,” and it’s a crock.
There may be somewhat cogent descriptions of Soviet nuclear sub disasters, but the US gets a pass.
It’s written just like that old tag line from early network news, “hopscotting around the world for news”!
Reading this book is tedious, and certainly, the telling of Danish fables is, in my opinion data overload.
