The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
only the commented edition though

Here's my list of easy-to-digest /his/ books. These books are good for both people who are just starting to study history and /his/panics who live and breath this science.

The Rise and Fall Of The Third Reich by William Shirer
This book is somewhat outdated but it still provides a great inshight into the 3rd Reich
>Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman
A good book if you want to learn more about the last few months before WW1 and the beginning of the war itself
>The Proud Tower by Barbara Tuchman
The book is about the events that were happening in the world 1890-1914 and why the Great War happened
>All Hell Let Loose by Max Hastings
The best book about WWII. It's not the most in-depth piece of writing about the war but it is great if you want to have a general understanding of the conflict
>The FIrst World War by Martin Gilbert
The same as All Hell Let Loose but about WW1. Really good
>A History of France by William Stearns Davis
This one is a lesser-known book. It gives you an understanding of French history from the Romans and until the treaty of Versailles
>Lords of the Sea by John Hale
A must have book if you are into naval history and naval battles. Covers the golden age of Athens and te Athenian navy
>A History of Venice by John Norwich
Easily the best book about the Republic of Venice
>City of Fortune by Roger Crowley
The second best book about Venice. This one only covers the rise and fall of the Serenissima and not the entire history of that country
>Carthage must be destroyed by Richard Miles
A great and informative book about Carthage and the Punic wars
>History of The Persian Empire by Albert Olmstead
Not much to say about this one. Read this one if you want to learn about the Persian Empire.
>Holy War by Nigel Cliff
An awesome book that covers Vasco da Gama's voyage and the Christianity vs Islam war

These books are going to be more than enough to give you a very basic understanding of the most important historical events

>>2464056
Your "most important historical events" list is pretty threadbare.
Mentioning Venice in it twice makes it all the more absurd.
Books are nice though, I guess. Their reviews check out.

>>2464089
The republic of Venice was one of the most important countries in the world dturing the late middle ages and early renaissance
Most major events are covered in that list. I left out Byzantine empire and the Western Roman empire because there are too many good books about both of those countries.

>>2464107
Hmm may buy that History of France book on Amazon, although I have a hunch I may have already bought it.

>>2464107
You also left out ancient Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, China, Mongols, India, Japan, colonization, scramble for Africa, revolutions in France, America and Russia, the empires of Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, and so on, and so on.

>>2464118
What books would you recommend for those?

>>2464129
guns germs and steel

>>2464118
>ancient Greece
Lords of the sea
>Mesopotamia
You're right
>Persia
History of The Persian Empire by Albert Olmstead
>China
I don't even what to suggest
>Mongols
I've read plenty of books about the mongols in Russian but none of them were ever translated
>India
A bit of Indian history is covered in Cliff's "Holy War"
>Japan
I know next to nothing about Japan so you're right
>colonization
Covered in some of the books that I've mentioned
>scramble for Africa
You're right, I didn't mention anything about that
>revolutions in France
Covered in Stearns's book
>America and Russia
Most people here are american and they probably know their own history. As a Russian, I have no need for books aobut my country's history in English. That's why I can't recommend any.
>the empires of Spain, Netherlands, Portugal
"Holy War" is based around Portgal. Hugh Thomas wrote decent books about Spain. I don't own any books about the Netherlands.

The Fault In Our Stars

>>2463018
I got some books on Rome by M. Grant lying around, are those any good?

>>2464056

Get the fuck out.

>>2464617
Wow I guess I have to throw away my JM Roberts and Mary Beard now

>>2463018
Mein Kampf

>>2463914
Im a retard, but commented by whom?

Jeez, Peterson is such a tool

>>2464625
Nobody gives a fuck about those.

>>2464617
They are just anglo aggregates of other accounts.

>>2464672
Who are you speaking for when you say "nobody"?

David M. Glantz and Memoirs of the Eastern Front are good sources of the Eastern Front, especially on the Soviet side that aren't overblown stereotypes and full of inconsistencies.

Beevor's "Stalingrad" is also good, goes in depth about the battle, but does it from a 3rd person and shows many accounts

Craig's "Enemy at the Gates" is another good one, but does include accounts from civilians, generals, Soviets, Germans and POWs

Applebaums "Gulag: A History" is indepth about the Gulag system of the 20s-80s, goes brief over the psychiatric 'prisons' of the 70s and 80s of the USSR.

I'd like to see the following :

Soviet Union
Confederacy & USA
British Empire
HRE/Austria

>>2465969
good picks. I've basically collected all the works for a habsburg charts (pre-1860), a bohemian/czech chart anda kingdom of hungary chart. Still collecting material for austro-hungarian empire and prussia. I've only just started getting stuff for HRE, which is gonna be a fun challenge. Soviet union, civil war and british empire charts should be easy to make.

Several questions, though: what style do you prefer the charts in? would you prefer something condensed into a small list of works, or do you prefer the longer lists I've made? the advantage of the former is that it makes it easier for the beginner to choose, but given that i've not read many of these works any choice i make will be arbitrary. The advantage of the latter approach is that there is more choice and variety and if an anon chooses some introductory work he doesn't like then he can pick up another one listed. I'm also not sure whether to keep doing lists with just text such as>>2465936 or start doing charts like >>2465920, which are easier on the eyes?

>>2465999
i'll add that the picture chart took very long to make while the text charts are a lot shorter. So I may start out with text charts but hopefully in the future I can make picture charts. Another thing that may happen is another anon who's dedicated to a certain topic might hopefully read all the works on a chart and make their own condensed list.

>>2466013

To the truest of the true American Civil War fanatics, I can recommend War of the Rebellion: The Official Records of the Union & Confederate Armies.

The name will trigger Southerons and it is realistically chaotic, but if you desire first-hand knowledge of those who commanded that war it is quite good.

>>2465037

Poor Beevor! He wanted to be an honest historian, but the Cult of Victory wouldn't allow it.

What happened to the library of alexandria thread and why was it never stickied?

>>2463874
it theorizes that europeans are more successful than other ethnic groups due to an abundance of food and herd immunity to diseases due to our easily domesticated livestock and crops. in essence, white people are on top due to being dealt a better hand by nature, rather than becuase they are more hard working and honest and civilized etc. white supremacists (right wingers) dispute the claim

Anyone yet made the Canaanite/Israel recommendation list?

Christopher Clark's Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia is a very good read encompassing all of Prussia's history from Hohenzollern ruled Brandenburg to the end of WWII. Haven't finished it yet, but it really is a decent book that gives a lot of interesting facts that have been largely ignored or forgotten about Prussia.

>>2464681
Everyone who's not an Anglo.

Hitler's Willing Executioners is a scholarly enquiry into how the Nazis managed to exert the degree of control they did over ordinary Germans.

He actually used the nature argument only when it could be used against Europeans, while bringing race up if some results where made by other ethnic groups. It's an extremely racist book, while at the same time it doesn't bring any good point to the table (the idea of disregarding culture in the evolution of a society is beyond stupid).

>>2464131
>>2466285
You need to go back.

>>2465951
>only should be read with a pinch of salt
Why? Is it because he said that the roman empire fell because of christianity?

>>2467617
no i'm on it anon. i had to get hold of the books, and now im on the stage where i'm collecting all them together

>>2466089
After reading Gorbachevsky's account of the war (Through the Maelstrom) he describes how 4 red army men raped German women. He still questions why that part of the war was covered up.

I still don't understand the Cult of Victory and I'm a Russophile.

>>2468440
Would you recommend Through the Maelstrom? I have yet to read a book from the first hand account of a Russian soldiers on the eastern front and i'm having difficulty in finding a good one that has been translated into English.

Parallel Lives by Plutarch

For Penal Battalion memoirs I recommend " Penalty Strike" by Alexander Pyclyn who was an officer of a penal battalion. Really discourages the Western notion of them.

I've yet to expand on the German accounts of the Front.

>>2477098
Just appreciate the work lad. You inspired me to read some more his related stuff

Are there any made on ancient Greeks? Or the English/Italian/Flemish Renaissance?

>>2477125
thank you, anon. I'm glad you find it useful. Hopefully you'll find something you like.

>>2477128
i'm just starting making lists for the greeks it's ambitious but i'm gonna make lists on mycenaeans/minoans, archaic greece, athens, sparta, classical greece, hellenistic greece, hellenistic kingdoms and alexander the great.

>English/Italian/Flemish Renaissance?
I haven't done anything on England yet. What exactly to you mean English renaissance? Stuff like thomas more, john colet and hans holbein the younger stuff? Or just England during the renaissance period (c. the tudor dynasty, 1485-1601)? As for the italian renaissance, I also have a very large list of works jumbled together. I have also do have valois burgundy/ medieval low countries thats more completed, but I have yet to decide how to organize it (habsburg vs. valois burugndy?, separating valois burgundy from the early social and economic developments of the low countries (i.e. before 1360s when valois dukes took control)? I may well do different ones to see which is the best. For now though, I'll let you look at the burgundy list.
http://pastebin.com/mAwavvZf
I've also purposely kept artistic and cultural stuff to a minimum, though, because that needs a list of its own. There are just too many works on the Northern Renaissance (though I have included any art historical stuff as it relates to the Burgundian court or the main cities of flanders).

>>2467805
He literally doesn't disregard culture. He acknowledges that several times. He only uses the environment to explain why the old world (Eurasia and North Africa) advanced far ahead of everywhere else. Read the fucking book

>>2477261
btw the general periodization for that pastebin is like burgundy from around 1300 to 1550. other lists will deal with the dutch revolt, the dutch republic and the southern netherlands

france, 1815-1914, by robert tombs is great. oxford short histories has books on nineteenth century britain, italy, germany and france that are all great in my experience. They also have a book on nineteenth century europe as a whole. also any book focusing on the origins of World War I are always a great way to learn about the nineteenth century, especially those events from the 1848 onward

>>2482624
any period?

>>2482667

any recommended books on Christopher Columbus, the Conquistadors, and the fall of the Aztecs?

How about the American Revolution? For this one, something in the vein of Battle Cry of Freedom by McPherson.

How about of Queen Victoria or Henry VIII?

Life in Industrial England? Similar to Sinclair's The Jungle, but a historical book rather than a fictional story.

I'm currently reading The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark and I was gripped by the Serbian backstory, which has sparked my interest in background history of major events, if that makes sense.

Also, I'm an Architect who likes to read history books as a hobby.

>>2498139

>any recommended books on Christopher Columbus, the Conquistadors, and the fall of the Aztecs?

The account of Hernan Cortez is a primary source and a very entertaining read. Serge Gruzinski's "Images at War" is a book about the cultural struggle between the catholics and the indians and their differences on religious sensibilities.

>Life in Industrial England?

The Making of the English Working Class by Edward Thompson.
Customs in Common, also by Thompson, has a chapter about the changing from nature-based sense of time to "time of the factory".

As for portuguese, spanish, dutch and british colonial empires, a very quick but nontheless comprehensive book is The Globe Encompassed: The Age of European Discovery (1500 to 1700) by Glenn J. Ames

What's the best book on Vietnam?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer. While most other Nazi books contain much speculation, Speer gives us the most in-depth and truthful look into Hitler's inner circle. The difference between Speer and other authors is that he was a part of Hitler's circle. He was there, he was a part of what happened, and while he remains critical of the Reich, he still provides a truly honest perspective of his nation.

Is Rise and Fall of The Third Reich any good? I'm thinking about picking up a copy.

It's heavily biased, but it should give you an idea of the progression of events that happened throughout that time.

Biased in which regard? Also, what are some good alternatives?

>>2505198
Shirer's book focuses too heavily on the Holocaust and the Antisemitism of Nazi Germany. Like I said in >>2505112, most books on the Nazis contain speculation, along with Allied propaganda. Albert Speer's book is a good alternative. It is able to balance the good and the bad within the Third Reich. You've been bombarded with the propaganda of the Allies for years, why don't you try looking at things from a different perspective?

ty very much senpai.
as for another thread we still aren't close to reaching the picture or reply limit here. do you think it'd be better if we make a more relevant OP with all the charts closer together, though? at least in this thread i make charts to keep the thread bumped while people ask or discuss recommended works that are more on topic..

Picked this up at a yard sale years ago and just found it cleaning my room. I read the first chapter regarding the defeat of the Spanish Armada yesterday and enjoyed it overall despite being put off by his writing style a bit.

Any reasons I should really look forward to it? Or just not bother reading the rest?
