Shamelessly plugging a good book
I just ordered Clayton Cramer's new book, Armed America: The Remarkable Story of How and Why Guns Became as American as Apple Pie -- the thesis of which I thoroughly agree. (Among other things, he debunks the notorious Michael Bellesiles.) It's reviewed here, and despite the insane weather (and a series of travel glitches from hell) the author made it to the East Coast, where he's right now is in the middle of his book tour. I only yesterday got my driveway shoveled out, and in addition to other commitments this weekend, right now I'm entertaining Sean Kinsell who's visiting from Japan. (Although Sean is blogging on the road -- check out this post about lesbian Muslim activist Irshad Manji, who said "Society needs people who offend, otherwise there will be no progress.") Anyway, I won't be able to attend the book signing festivities. But in case there are any readers in the DC area, this is Cramer's schedule for today: February 16, 2007I think I've been to that store, and if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's a good one. If I didn't have commitments, I might be willing to brave the drive down there. If you're in the area, don't miss it. posted by Eric on 02.16.07 at 07:27 AM |
