“The Ship to Shawano” by M. W. Tyrrell
History is generally taught in terms of placing events in a timeline. A particular event occurred on such-and-such date, and the course of humankind is diverted to one direction or another. While this is fine when studying the course of history in general, unaddressed are the men and women whose lives are inevitably changed in the process.
