Are you one of those people who thought history was such a boring and unnecessary subject in school, and an adolescent had much better things to do and more important things to learn than reading about people long since gone, and wars waged ?

You’re in good company. So many of us think/thought the same way. But alas, just as much as that is true when speaking of the youth, just as much it is true that the older we get, the more past events start to interest us – even when they have nothing to do with us. Except that one thing we all have in common: our humanity.
