商品簡介
This short microhistory details the life and death of Alfred Edwin "Eddie" McKay, a varsity athlete at Western University, who flew with the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War. Throughout the book, Broad switches creatively from the story of Eddie McKay to valuable lessons on how to "do" history, why the past matters, how to pose historical questions, and how to identify and challenge relevant source materials. The book concludes with four unsolved mysteries about McKay's life, demonstrating to readers that even a detailed history is never really complete.
