Historical Monograph

Historical Monograph - Choices Under Fire by Michael Bess

What is a historical monograph?

     Washington State University says this about a historical monograph, "book-length treatment of a topic, also called a monograph, is a type of secondary source." Scholarly articles like what scholars have researched and written about a certain topic is also considered a secondary source in the historian discipline. When an item is said to be a historical monograph it does not mean that item was written or created in the past at the time of the topic but rather that a historian is writing about his opinions and concerns of that large topic in history. The book Choices Under Fire by Michael Bess is a strong example of a historical monograph.
