Today:

This thread has been set up to enable the direct discussion of historical sources that you might have encountered in the week. Top tiered comments in this thread should either be;

1. A short review of a source. These in particular are encouraged.

or

2. A request for opinions about a particular source, or if you're trying to locate a source and can't find it.

Lower-tiered comments in this thread will be lightly moderated, as with the other weekly meta threads.

So, encountered a recent biography of Stalin that revealed all about his addiction to ragtime piano? Delved into a horrendous piece of presentist and sexist psycho-evolutionary mumbo-jumbo and want to tell us about how bad it was? Can't find a copy of Ada Lovelace's letters? This is the thread for you, and will be regularly showing at your local AskHistorians subreddit every Saturday.
