How has Norman Cantor's Civilization of the Middle Ages held up? I read it when I was a teenager and thoroughly enjoyed it and it colored my impression of the middle ages for years to come, but now I know enough to generally be wary of older works, that the scholarship has evolved since then, etc.

Yeah I can confirm that Perlstein's Barry Goldwater biography is absolutely fantastic as well. I haven't read "The Invisible Bridge" but I've heard it had some plagiarism issues, though.

Mantis42 posted:What are some good books about American electoral history? Something like Rick Perlstein (Nixonland), I mean. Something that captures the insanity of the whole thing. Perlstein's Before the Storm is a similarly excellent book about Goldwater and the '64 election. There's no shortage of insane stories, backroom deals, and it talks a lot about the emergence of the modern conservative movement in terms that seem eerily prescient in the age of Trump.
