Taking the AFOQT on Thursday. Here's wishing I'd started studying sooner.

Sir John Keegan dies in August and I'm just now hearing about. What the heck?

Man, this guy was one of the best historians in the world. His book, The American Civil War, is, in my opinion, the best general history of the American Civil war out there.

He will be sorely missed.
Yeah, it was all over my Facebook newsfeed when it happened. I studied abroad in London a few years back, and a bunch of my Brit friends were in the War Studies Department at King's College. We bonded over discussing Keegan in our tutorial sessions, haha.

Belated R.I.P. from me, too.
