>Cold War
Any particular aspects of the Cold War or literally anything?

>>1645804
I think he's mad that you're using Viking interchangeably with Meeieval Scandinavian. The Vikigns were a specific caste or group of people if anything.

>>1645901

Anything. I dont know much about the era.

>>1645903

Well see, these are the kind of things id like to know

>>1645903
Not really

I, Claudius
Great 'Autobiography' of Claudius Caesar, by Robert Frost.
I dont know 100% its accuracy, but as far as I know its pretty good in getting things right.
Cool glimpse of Roman culture, and great book.

I'm no expert in Roman culture, but I'm pretty sure that I, Claudius is a fictional novel, and has no actual historical value.

that "roman empire" bib is actually about the military of the Roman Empire, it needs a rename

>>1646506
This is supposed to be "Roman Army":
http://pastebin.com/iiyMSsDP

Could it be that jonstond2, our based collector of bibliographies mixed them up?

>>1646509
Nah, it's just the way the bibs are organised by Oxford

The bib is called "Roman Empire", but it's part of Oxford's military history section

>>1646496

Any place where I can download these?

Paperbacks are not availible in my region, they also seem to run for hundreds of dollars, and I cant find any ebook version, amazon does not have them on ebook. Only from shady scam sites that want my credit card info despite saying theyre 100% free

>>1649197

its impossible to find these things online

>>1645735
The book S.P.Q.R is a pretty good book by Mary Beard. Covers the history of Rome from the founding myths of the city all the way to Caracalla.

>>1646461
Its not terribly historically innacurate

>>1646184
Well, personally, I've always been intrigued by US-Latin American relations/interventions during the Cold War. Inevitable Revolutions by Walter LaFeber is probably the best book on Central America in a Cold War context.

>Viking culture
Icelandic sagas
>Roman Culture
Suetonius, 12 Caesars.
>WWI & II
>Cold war
Not needed, too recent, just ask your grandparents.
