>>24046828Edward III: The Perfect King>Holding power for over fifty years starting in 1327, Edward III was one of England’s most influential kings—and one who shaped the course of English history. Revered as one of the country’s most illustrious leaders for centuries, he was also a usurper and a warmonger who ordered his uncle beheaded.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41831700-edward-iiihttps://www.amazon.com/Edward-III-Perfect-Ian-Mortimer-ebook/dp/B07H17Z9N7Henry IV: The Righteous King>The talented, confident, and intelligent son of John of Gaunt, Henry IV started his reign as a popular and charismatic king after he dethroned the tyrannical and wildly unpopular Richard II. But six years into his reign, Henry had survived eight assassination and overthrow attempts. Having broken God’s law of primogeniture by overthrowing the man many people saw as the chosen king, Henry IV left himself vulnerable to challenges from powerful enemies about the validity of his reign. Even so, Henry managed to establish the new Lancastrian dynasty and a new rule of law—in highly turbulent times.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21939281-henry-ivhttps://www.amazon.com/Henry-IV-Righteous-Ian-Mortimer-ebook/dp/B07H14G27CHenry V: The Warrior King of 1415>Henry V is regarded as the great English hero. Lionized in his own day for his victory at Agincourt, his piety and his rigorous application of justice, he was elevated by Shakespeare into a champion of English nationalism for all future generations. The king's story is told against the background of other important developments in Europe, in particular the struggle for power within the Catholic Church and official attempts to eradicate any deviant religious beliefs.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41729670-henry-vhttps://www.amazon.com/Henry-V-Warrior-King-1415-ebook/dp/B07H1915ZP

In Nelson's Wake: The Navy and the Napoleonic Wars by James Davey>account of naval contributions between 1803 and 1815, James Davey offers original and exciting insights into the Napoleonic wars and Britain’s maritime history. Encompassing Trafalgar, the Peninsular War, the War of 1812, the final campaign against Napoleon, and many lesser known but likewise crucial moments, from admiral and captain to sailor and cabin boy. The cast of characters also includes others from across Britain—dockyard workers, politicians, civilians—who made fundamental contributions to the war effort, and in so doing, both saved the nation and shaped Britain’s historyhttps://www.amazon.com/Nelsons-Wake-Navy-Napoleonic-Wars-ebook/dp/B018SMRZA4

The Washing Of The Spears: The Rise and Fall of the Zulu Nation Under Shaka and its Fall in the Zulu War of 1879>For more than a century after the European landing at Cape Town in the 17th century, the Boers had advanced unopposed into the vast interior of Africa. It was not until 1824 that Europeans came face to face with another expanding and imperial power, the Zulus, the most formidable nation in black Africa. That confrontation culminated in a bitter war between the Zulu warriors and Victoria's British Army. It was the last despairing effort of Africans to stem the tide of white civilization. The result was a dramatic, legendary and bloody defeat at Isandhlwana for the British; the aftermath was the defeat and fall of the Zulu nation.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/403124.The_Washing_of_the_Spears

The Horde: How the Mongols Changed the World>Favereau takes us inside one of the most powerful sources of cross-border integration in world history. The Horde was the central node in the Eurasian commercial boom of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and was a conduit for exchanges across thousands of miles. Its unique political regime―a complex power-sharing arrangement among the khan and the nobility―rewarded skillful administrators and diplomats and fostered an economic order that was mobile, organized, and innovative. From its capital at Sarai on the lower Volga River, the Horde provided a governance model for Russia, influenced social practice and state structure across Islamic cultures, disseminated sophisticated theories about the natural world, and introduced novel ideas of religious tolerance.It's half a history of the Mongol Empire and the other half being on Mongol society with the main focus being on the Golden Horde. Goodreads reviews that are negative complain about it being confusing, it isn't, it's just new names but none of them really repeat so it's easy to read. Lots of small interesting bits on Mongol society.
Charles I's killers in America: the lives & afterlives of Edward Whalley & William Goffe>When the British monarchy was restored in 1660, King Charles II was faced with the conundrum of what to do with those who had been involved in the execution of his father eleven years earlier. Facing a grisly fate at the gallows, some of the men who had signed Charles I's death warrant fled to America. 'Charles I's Killers in America' traces the gripping story of two of these men - Edward Whalley and William Goffe - and their lives in America, from their welcome in New England until their deaths there. With fascinating insights into the governance of the American colonies in the seventeenth century, and how a network of colonists protected the regicides, Matthew Jenkinson overturns the enduring theory that Charles II unrelentingly sought revenge for the murder of his father. 'Charles I's Killers in America' also illuminates the regicides' afterlives, with conclusions that have far-reaching implications for our understanding of Anglo-American political and cultural relations. Novels, histories, poems, plays, paintings, and illustrations featuring the fugitives were created against the backdrop of America's revolutionary strides towards independence and its forging of a distinctive national identity. The history of the 'king-killers' was distorted and embellished as they were presented as folk heroes and early champions of liberty, protected by proto-revolutionaries fighting against English tyranny. Jenkinson rewrites this once-ubiquitous and misleading historical orthodoxy, to reveal a far more subtle and compelling picture of the regicides on the run.
>>24054101>The first volume (published in English in 1928 as My Autobiography) describes Mussolini's youth, years as an agitator and journalist, experiences in World War I, the formation and revolutionary struggles of the Fascist Party, the March on Rome, and his early years in power. The second volume (published in English in 1948 as The Fall of Mussolini) was written during the brief period between his rescue by the Germans in September 1943 and his execution by Italian partisans in April 1945.

An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942-1943 - Rick Atkinson>Beginning with the daring amphibious invasion in November 1942, An Army at Dawn follows the American and British armies as they fight the French in Morocco and Algeria, and then take on the Germans and Italians in Tunisia. Battle by battle, an inexperienced and sometimes poorly led army gradually becomes a superb fighting force. Central to the tale are the extraordinary but fallible commanders who come to dominate the battlefield: Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Montgomery, and Rommel.https://www.amazon.com/Army-Dawn-1942-1943-Liberation-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B000ZMRSGM

I already told my mom not to buy me any books this year since I have too many I’m already behind on, but then my brother gifted me another book about WW2 (“myths and legends about WW2 disproven”)…I don’t even think they’ve ever seen me reading a book about WW2? I was reading about the 1848 revolutions when I saw them earlier in the year, or Thucydides, or French diplomacy in inter-war years. I just wish they went with more random topics because I don’t need the same WW2 overview book every year. Maybe I’m spoiled, but this is also just wasteful.

Yoink>>24079786I read it maybe 7 years ago. I thought it was quite enlightening, as someone who’d mostly read European histories up until that. It served as a good reminder that Europe was mostly on the peripheries until the Renaissance or so, and that successive European empires have always been drawn by the wealth in the east (Alexander, Romans, Crusades, Italian trading cities, etc.)Some chapters I liked:>development and spread of Christianity along the Silk Road, including tidbits about nascent Christianity in Iran (only to be later dashed by Islam)>reframing of the Crusades from the Muslim perspective, and that the Crusaders were really just intruding on a much larger conflict between the Seljuks, Abassids, Fatimids and later Mongols>history of the Slavic slave trade, tying in with the history of Constantinople, early Russia, the early Islamic caliphates

>>24079786I have not, but if that subject matter interests you and you want to read more on it, I have read The Roman Empire and the Silk Routes by Raoul McLaughlin, which is about Roman and Chinese commercial and political interests in the the lands to east/west of their empires, and the effects they had on Persia and Bactria, or how the opposite, how the shockwaves of events in Persia affected Rome and China. It was immensely fascinating.
>>24084274Thanks anon!
>>24083753One
>>24083753I think I is far more interesting. People went into it and it was stereotypical image of the 1800s, and only four years later at the end of the war absolutely everything was much more modern and recognizable. If you want a good book on the subject, I highly recommend this one, which is all about the people, culture and politics that led to the outbreak of the war.
Can anyone recommend some books on general English history (pre-ww1)?

One that I found at my local library's "used book sale" years ago that I always found interesting was "Social Thought In The Soviet Union". It was written in 69 and goes over the history of the Soviet Union through essays. One that I found particularly interesting is how they outright ripped off technology and made it their own
>>24086345After doing some light reading and reflection on the period the years c1898-1991 do seem like the long and strange death of the European Powers (Starting with the Spanish American war up to the Soviets imploding) with a near century of decline (more often then nought broughtupon themselves or as delayed consequences of earlier actions) Like within a decade and a bit the then Superpower went from a shaky first place to getting dismantled by its ally. Talk about dropping your spaghetti. Nevermind the pair of murder suicide wars that were prime actors on their collapse. Its become to me a truly fascinating period that I have to read more on.
