If you ever have a chance, I strongly recommend David Hackett Fischer's _Historians' Fallacies_:

https://www.amazon.com/Historians-Fallacies-Toward-Historica...

What historians have had to figure out, and sometimes learn the hard way -- these are lessons that over the centuries we have found deep-rooted needs to listen to . . . it's not just about writing history -- it's about thinking . . .




Wholeheartedly concur on this recommendation. A great book that I came to these comments to recommend.
