About Talking With…

Over the years C-SPAN's Brian Lamb has interviewed many historians, but was only able to scratch the surface of their deep knowledge. Now he's talking in-depth with some of these same nationally-known historians, making for a fascinating learning experience. Listen as they discuss their careers and what they've learned about America through researching and writing about history. From politics to pop culture, C-SPAN's Talking With...gets into the minds of America's top historians, who sometimes make history by writing about it.

Since then, Harold Holzer has added another 50 books to his name.
