Best for readers who...
Good fit if you want...
Works well when you want a history lane with better narrative pull. Strong option when you want history that explains the why behind events. If humor is important, the author stays focused on texture and place.
Maybe skip if...
Weaker fit if you need a totally different reader expectation set. Probably not for you if you want an instant one-glance synopsis only. You only want something with very current references and examples.
