Abstract

The author reviews the essay "Counterfactualism and its Discontents" by Jeremy Black, which appeared in the August 2016 issue. He uses the 1901 book "A Political History of Cont­emporary Europe Since 1814," by French historian Charles Seignobos, as an example of why counterfactualism is not useful to the study of history.
