Suggestion For History Books
#17
RE: Suggestion For History Books
Since Cato got to Bill Bryson first (helluva good pick, by the way), I'll recommend Stephen Dando-Collins.

He focuses mainly on military history, but has a terrific knack for putting military exploits into a larger social context. Extremely readable.
