Post your best non-woke, non-chuddified (if they even exist) nonfiction or history books that best present the material and do it from the most neutral lens possible.

All time periods and subjects allowed, just looking for new recommendations.

What does "neutral" mean to you? History is a story. A story has a story teller. The story is inherently comugulated by how the story teller tells it.

Even anna komnene is biased

There is no such thing. You cannot tell history without emphasizing one class over another, or one ethnicity over another, or one sex over another.

>>25339480
Of course you can. All those things are only social constructs.

Here's your (you) faggot
Doesn't exist unless you really narrow down the period of time you're looking at and consume it in it's native language
The minutes of the The Articles of Association & Declaration of Independence would fit your criteria except the segments of Jefferson ranting about how good black pussy is have been sadly been redacted

Chris Wickham‘s the Inheritance of Rome is a classic, I found it tedious but that’s because it’s detailed, objective and very dense. It’s about Europe after the fall of Rome.

the best you can do is read multiple biased perspectives of the same events and judge for yourself what seems most realistic. it's usually easy to determine. sorry anons are nitpicking but yeah you're unlikely to get completely neutral recanting of anything unless it's a direct journal from someone involved in a conflict or agency who is just relaying a timeline.
