Goodreads asked Erin Torkelson Weber:

Erin Torkelson Weber After casually reading some works on the Beatles, I discovered the depth of and the debates in their historiography. The narratives that had told their story, and the rampant partisanship and sloppy methodology so many authors had used piqued my interest as a researcher and historian. I also wanted to delve into a historiographical study of a more modern, media-centric topic: let's face it; the historiography of World War I is fascinating, but its been done to death.
