History
On BookFrontier, History means nonfiction that reconstructs the past with narrative ambition and evidentiary seriousness. Military, social, political, and biographical history are in scope when grounded in research. Historical fiction, memoir using history as backdrop, and low-evidence presentist argument are out of scope.
