Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt is genuinely interesting if you care about the origins of modern antisemitism and the mechanisms by which governments become totalitarian.
She was also a student of Heidegger which is interesting in and of itself.

Civilization before Greece and Rome by H.W.F. Saggs is a good overview of Bronze Age civilization focusing on Mesopotamia. Start here.

Brotherhood of Kings by Amanda Podany is good on diplomacy in the Bronze Age and is an easy read.

There are multiple recent books about the civilizational collapse at the end of the Bronze Age. I read and liked Collapse of the Bronze Age by Manuel Robbins, but there's also 1177 bc by Eric Cline.

It's a really interesting era to learn about.

I didn't know shit about Bolivar before I read this at a whim and now he's one of my favourite historical figures. Highly recommended.

I'm halfway through this. It's a great primary source on the conquest against the Aztecs and Mayans.
