It's essential.
>asking a bunch of wiki warriors for books
Good way to expose them tho.
Are you interested in anything special? Social / Political / Economic / Military /... History? Or rather a comprehensive overview?
I would not mind a deeper view into economic or political history, but feel free to recommend your favorites.

The New Deal in Old Rome
Whats his agenda, user ?

Go read Braudel's The Mediterranean already

A.H.M Jones' Later Roman Empire is pretty neat, and much less ridiculous than Gibbon.
I think Gib is not ridiculous at all. Great writer.
He's a great writer, and his work is phenomenal, but in terms of his sources Gibbon leaves a lot to be desired. For instance, he uses Ossian as a source, who was later discovered to be a forgery.
Can someone recommend me some books from the renaissance+ ? Rome is alright but I prefer the age of rediscovery
I would suggest not reading american writers. They are so bad.

Conquistador by Buddy Levy
The Memoirs of Bernal del Castillo if you want a primary source
Evans' books on Nazi Germany are a good starting point
Why is there no ebook repository for Veeky Forums? Even Veeky Forums is able to maintain mega repositories for mods and games and shit
Does anyone have a link for Evans' In defence of history?
We are literally polnigger tier of board organization.

obligatory pastebin annotated bibliography collection
pastebin.com
see link
link is closest thing. a majority of books can be found for free on bookzz and libgen anyway.
Steven Runciman's "A History of the Crusades" is fairly essential. Beautifully written too.
Any good history of Haiti? Or at least biographies of the earlier personages of the country, like Louverture.
books on the haitian revolution right here where you'll find bios on the major figures.
pastebin.com
I don't know Haitian history past 1806 but the french colonial history of the country is really fascinating.
we /duncan/ here?
Not much on ww1 there
there is an article on wwi eastern front
Saw it my man. That's why I said not much instead of nothing.
Prescott's History of the Conquest of Mexico and History of the Conquest of Peru.
not him, but it was "christianity is responsible for the fall of the roman empire". Nowadays that isnt a widespread opinion, and the Byzantine empire is better considered.
Just making sure, I thought maybe you had found wwi books indirectly in some other article. If you want to see more works on wwi check
oxfordbibliographiesonline.com
oxfordbibliographiesonline.com
there are a few articles on the subject in the links (ctrl f world war i), but you can only see the introductory works if that interests you.

Thank you user. I've read plenty of books on ww1, including causes, but I'm always on the hunt for more. I'll take a look.
