![]() ![]() The present paperback edition does, however, contain a 63-page "Afterword" where Evans takes issue with his reviewers, myself included but it still would have made better sense had the text of the American edition been incorporated into this supposed "new" paperback edition. ![]() It is not quite the "new edition" that the front cover proclaims in that it retains the (unrevised) text of the original British edition. The second, which bears no date of publication, is the book under review. The first appeared in September 1998, a reprint of the original hardback edition. Meanwhile, the British publisher has issued separate paperback editions. ![]() The basis for the foreign language editions is not the original British edition but the revised and updated American edition of January 1998. As well as substantial sales in the English-speaking world, the book has been translated into German and Korean, and editions will be appearing in the Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Swedish and Turkish languages. In Defence of History was first published in September 1997 and, like Bernard Crick's In Defence of Politics (1962), it took off. ![]()
