What's the best history book you've ever read?

Puke inducing samefaggotry or is this board even more doomed than i thought?

I was one of those replies. I chose a shit answer for a shit question. I regret nothing.

Bible

Biography of Lenin by Robert Service

Steel, Germs and Guns

Guns, Germans and Steel.

Overrated marxist nonsense. Bible best

The Silmarillion

Catcher in the Rye made it sink in that long gone eras were once completely "normal" to the people living then and the present day will be just another such era in the distant future. It really got my mindcogs twirling.

The man in the high castle

War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells

The Bible

H.G. Wells actually wrote history lol
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outline_of_History

It's shitposting.

Part 2: 'sianic Risenjew

>believing in the bible

It was funny how much it was repeated, but u r a dingus

lindy beige wrote a little book recently. its the only book ive read but i think its the best out there

All this shitposting makes me question whether a majority of Veeky Forums has actually opened a history book.

Guano and the Opening of the Pacific World: A Global Ecological History (Studies in Environment and History)

This book is the fuckin tits let me tell you. Dude creates a global history, with a decent bit of narrative linking everything to bird shit. At first you're like "wait what the fuck is this guy actually just fuckin nuts?" but by the end he asks some pretty great questions about nation-state formation and borders in general in WRITING history, talks about ecological systems as historical agents of their own, and just creates a pretty great approach to global history.

Also it's got some pretty funny lines. Pretty sure you can get it on bookzz

ty user i'll check that out
