>Viking Culture

shut up

>hating on people wanting to learn stuff

Memes aside. Some recommendations pls?

>WWI & II
Rites of Spring is a good book on WWI.

>Cold War
Any particular aspects of the Cold War or literally anything?

I think he's mad that you're using Viking interchangeably with Meeieval Scandinavian. The Vikigns were a specific caste or group of people if anything.

Anything. I dont know much about the era.

Well see, these are the kind of things id like to know

Not really

I, Claudius
Great 'Autobiography' of Claudius Caesar, by Robert Frost.
I dont know 100% its accuracy, but as far as I know its pretty good in getting things right.
Cool glimpse of Roman culture, and great book.

I'm no expert in Roman culture, but I'm pretty sure that I, Claudius is a fictional novel, and has no actual historical value.

Vikings

Exploring the World of the Vikings - Richard Hall
The Saga of Ragnar Lodbrok

that "roman empire" bib is actually about the military of the Roman Empire, it needs a rename

This is supposed to be "Roman Army":

Could it be that jonstond2, our based collector of bibliographies mixed them up?

Nah, it's just the way the bibs are organised by Oxford

The bib is called "Roman Empire", but it's part of Oxford's military history section

Any place where I can download these?

Paperbacks are not availible in my region, they also seem to run for hundreds of dollars, and I cant find any ebook version, amazon does not have them on ebook. Only from shady scam sites that want my credit card info despite saying theyre 100% free

its impossible to find these things online

The book S.P.Q.R is a pretty good book by Mary Beard. Covers the history of Rome from the founding myths of the city all the way to Caracalla.

Its not terribly historically innacurate

Well, personally, I've always been intrigued by US-Latin American relations/interventions during the Cold War. Inevitable Revolutions by Walter LaFeber is probably the best book on Central America in a Cold War context.
