WHAT: Albertson, a resident of Norwalk, CT, will be available to sign copies of his book, On History: A Treatise.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki occurred before the attack on Pearl Harbor, right?  Well believe it or not there were two Americans walking around who actually believed just that.  The author knows he talked to them, young people who, at the time, had just graduated from the local high school!  It is just another example showcasing the swelling indifference and poverty of interest to history and geography in this country.  And this spurred the author to write this book.  In so doing, the author refers to events in history that have a distinct and sometimes controversial contemporary impact. On History:  A Treatise is meant to be a lightning rod to challenge the status quo. To stir the reader to think, to inquire, to learn.  On History:  A Treatise then, is not geared to those willing to succumb to the numbing conformity of political correctness; but rather those who are eager to question what they read and challenge what they're told.  For the unfettered exchange of ideas is a prerequisite to the survival of a free society.
