Charlotte Mansfield - Via Rhodesia (1911)

Been reading some Graham Hancock, FotG, and after that I'm probably going to read "Programmed to Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder".

I'd really appreciate recommended titles and trustworthy authors on ancient history, ancient history meaning from the Romans and further back. Also wouldn't mind some titles on the Middle Ages, early, middle and high.

Adrian Goldsworthy, Donald Kagan and Michael Grant are my go to Classical history authors. Anything by them is almost essential for Greek and Roman history.

If you're looking for some works on the Middle Ages:
- Inheritance of Rome by Christopher Wickham is a good coverage of Europe and the Middle East from the fall of the Roman Empire to Charlemagne
-The Crusades by Thomas Asbridge is a nice condensation of all the major crusades fought in the Holy Land
-The Middle Ages by Joseph Dhamus is a good broad look at the Middle Ages in general

Thanks m8. I'll add them to my Christmas list.

Moving on to Europe
"London for Immigrant suckers" (don't judge it by its title) It's not a political book but it appears to be historically accurate. Read it more about it here

Yeah probably the best book to start with when diving into Greek and Roman history, I would also add Paul Cartledge to the list for beginners.

Worth a read, even though its a bit older, is Roman Revolution by Ronald Syme and the Last Generation of the Roman Republic by Erich Gruen they both give you opposite view of the fall of the Roman Republic and its causes.

If your interested in Late Roman History and the rise of Christianity they checkout any books by Peter Brown, one of my favourite is the short and consite Power and Persuasion in Late Antiquity: Towards a Christian Empire. Peter Heather is another good historian, his The Fall of the Roman Empire is good introduction to Late Antiquity.

If your interested in Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Era then look up Conquest and Empire: The Reign of Alexander the Great by A.B. Bosworth and Alexander of Macedon by Peter Green. For an overall view of the Hellenistic Age then you should definitely pick up Alexander to Actium: The Historical Evolution of the Hellenistic Age by Peter Green.

Other books worth looking into is the Landmark Ancient Histories published by Anchor. They have one on Thucydides, Herodotus and Xenophon.

For Rhodesia I'd go with Hancock and Goodwin "Rhodesians Never Die" (about White identity in Rhodesia) and for a more political history White "Unpopular Sovereignty"
Josiah Brownell is probably the most important recent scholar on Rhodesia. He mainly looks at the demography of Rhodesia as explanation for the political
