It's pretty damned impressive.

unfortunately the humanities are a waste of time as far as careers go for the most part. unless you get a degree to teach it which is an age old pyramid education scheme lol

which is a real shame. I think the world would be a better place if more people were passionate about history
it’s really the best way to understand the world of today

most people want to know interesting memes and factoids to reinforce their current beliefs. few people want to plow through huge texts of contemporary accounts, logistical data, and conflicting sources to actually get a grain of truth. it's why people enjoy movies like 300 and enemy at the gates

i love david glantz but i would never recommend his books to anyone on this site. the sheer amount of raw data compiled to reach his conclusions is a slog the vast majority of people don't want to make for little gain outside of personal interest

people like easily digestible things like arrows on maps, names of generals, casualties from huge battles. people tend not to like researching how lacking soviet battallion level batteries in ammunition, how messy the movement in battles were compared to maps, or the huge preparations taken prior to the bloodletting

did you ever check out that youtube channel voices of the past? it’s nothing but a guy reading primary sources but it’s so well done and so enjoyable

yea he's great it's a lot easier listening than reading
