The Christmas Day Massacre
Imagine it’s Christmas Eve, 1926. New York City is glowing under a light dusting of snow, the air is thick with the sound of upbeat jazz, and behind a few nondescript basement doors, the party of the century is in full swing.

Then we invite our children to live in this house and call it truth.

History of History
I used to hate history. Not dislike it. Hate it. It felt like a long list of dead people and dusty dates that had nothing to do with my real life. Kings, wars, revolutions — all trapped inside textbooks that smelled like boredom.
