Then talk, critically, about the content of the three sources. Below is a list to cover as you survey and think about each work's contents. Please note, however, that the most effective review will do so by, in some way, weaving these topics together into a larger pattern, not running through them separately, one source after another. Here you are asked to strike a balance. Do not just say that you read three books about the Six Day War, but also do not spend your whole paper summarizing the what each and every chapter of each book is about.
Students often report having trouble finding out anything about authors.
We will be talking more about this in class, but be aware that reputable academic sources usually give some clues as to the basis of their authors claiming expertise. If you cannot discover anything about the author of a work you are considering, perhaps you should look for another source. As you read, you should continually ask yourself the following questions. Here you notice larger categories which will then help you weave together the fabric formed by the combination of your three sources. Now clearly, if a book fails to be organized, clearly written, logical, well researched, etc, it should indeed be criticized.
