Historiography
I have taken courses in Legal History and the Philosophy of History as well as Historiography. All interesting subjects about facts and which facts matter and which do not.
The journalists who were on site and various incidents are quite important IMHO.
Also read a lot of military history and the people in the battlefields often have little grasp of what is going on right at the time when the bullets, mortars, and bombs are flying.
This is a great movie about soldiers' experience in war during WWI.

One of my favorite historians is Barbara Tuchman whose books seem very timely.

Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Barbara W. Tuchman, author of the World War I masterpiece The Guns of August, grapples with her boldest subject: the pervasive presence, through the ages, of failure, mismanagement, and delusion in government.
