The NYT does these, but only sporadically. (Or at least I only see them occasionally.)

They’ve actually done one (Flashbacks) every week for just over a year now! They’re pretty good!

I love both of these, and both have shown that I have a major gap in my historical knowledge, and that gap is the history of Japan. Need to rectify this!

If anyone has a great book recommendation let me know.
