The admonition that we should learn from history is well known. But whatdoes that actually mean?

Advocates of applied history argue that historical studies can be used inpractice and provide guidance for the future. Decision-makers and politicalleaders can gain perspective, find clues to where a trend could lead, andassess what consequences an action could have.

But the growing popularity of applied history obscures the fact that eversince Ancient Greece, historians have analysed the big political, economicand military issues from similar perspectives and approaches. Each generation of historians has developed their research based on previous ideas andknowledge, with the goal of understanding their own era by studying the past.

Classics of Applied History takes a broad and ambitious approach to howhistorical knowledge is created, taught and used in different periods. A widerange of texts are presented in the book, which together create an overview of, as well as insight into, this always topical subject.
