Perspective

William Manchester is a well known historian and author. He works as a news reporter and is the author of many books. He writes his first book after the end of World War II in which he served. Most of his books are non-fiction but he did write a novel. The majority of his books are historical in nature, such as the book on the Kennedy assassination. Manchester is known for the depth of his research and his attention to detail. His books, like The Last Lion, are full of historical details as Manchester presents the facts in their proper historical perspective. This makes the reading material much more enjoyable for the reader who learns history while reading the book. The reader does not have to wonder what happened in a particular place or at a particular time because Manchester has already included them as facts.
