Nah, there were a few reasons. First, German is my second best language which gave me access to primary sources. Second, I sincerely found it interesting.

Why are you so hostile? Do you have an emotional stake in his being right? I've seen plenty of arguments here on /his/ and /lit/ concerning Gibbons' arguments. But it's reasonable to say that 200 years of scholarship is bound to have overturned some of his arguments.

I'm aware of that. I was looking for maybe more broad surveys as good primers i.e. The Inheritance of Rome or books of that nature.

>>2925236
I mean... most of those charts list primers. The Italian chart has an introductory work section and I can vouch for Power and Imagination. Another one of the intro books listed there is by Chris Wickham, who wrote the Inheritance of Rome.

As for Late Antiquity, you'd need to be more specific about what period of time we're talking. The "Early Medieval Europe" section on the Merovingian chart has books that cover Late Antique and Early Medieval Europe. The Rome and the Barbarians part more specifically has surveys on the fall of the WRE, which falls within the period of Late Antiquity.

The Peasant chart has general works that'd cover the High Middle Ages, such as Epstein. Another Wickham book is also there which covers late Antiquity/Early Medieval Europe (Framing of the Middle Ages), a book which anons on here and on /lit/ I've seen recommended many times.

On the Hanseatic chart you have overviews of the high middle ages such as Bartlett's Making of Europe, Rose's Medieval Sea and Scammel's World Encompassed and Ennen's work on the Medieval Town.

All of these seem broad to me. I don't want you to think I'm condescending, I just want to point out that the books you are looking for are, in fact, there. Maybe there are better books concerning Late Antiquity and the High Medieval Ages, but I can tell you the intro works on the Italian City-States listed there are the most well known surveys on late medieval and Renaissance Italy.

Anyone has an Andean guide for precolumbian period?

Anyone have one with Spanish Civil War? I've read a few like "Fighting for Franco", "Franco" by Stanley G. Payne, "The Spanish Civil War and The Soviet Union" & "The Spanish Labyrinth" and I'm looking for more interesting books on the subject.

>>2927223
Hitlerland by Nagorski is good to understand the inner machinations of the Third Reich as things happened before the U.S. entered the war. Bloodlands by Snyder is also good. There's a commie rebuttal to Bloodlands, but it isn't taken seriously in academia as Bloodlands is basically a compilation of secondary source scholarship.

For the Soviet German War, I would read anything by John Erickson, David Glantz, David Stahel and Robert Citino.

The first two focus more from the Soviet side, which was quite new when Erickson was writing in the 70s and 80s. He interviewed a lot of ex generals (including Konev) and got access to a lot of archives, but yeah you gotta take some of the stuff he says with a grain of salt. He doesn't fawn over the Soviet commanders, but they obviously would have massaged the truth when talking to him.

Glantz is really good, his book When Titans Clashed is probably the best single volume intro book out there. You can also find another book of his online here
http://sti.clemson.edu/publications-mainmenu-38/commentaries-mainmenu-211/cat_view/33-strom-thurmond-institute/153-sti-publications-by-subject-area/158-history
He attacks some myths about the war: Stalin planning to invade Germany, Stalin listening to his generals and learning to focus on only one area at a time, etc

Stahel and Citino write more from the German side, but are just as good. They don't rely memiors and whatever other stuff crapped out by ex-Nazi generals.

Also, you can find lectures by all four (and Jonathan House who has co-written with Glantz) on youtube

Any contemporary books (preferrably these last 15 years) on the English Civil War, Cromwell, the French invasion of Mexico, the Mexican Revolution, Franco's Spain, the fall of Spain (years after /ourguy/ reigned to the Spanish American War), the American Reconstruction period, and Yugoslavia?

No, it was a natural progression from being a huge fan of Ancient Rome. I had no idea Byzantium was a thing untill I was in high school.

>>2941841
Can I join you in your hate for /lit/?

I hate how superficial their knowledge is, even among those pursuing the field academically. It's painfully evident that everyone just reads the biggest names, given that as soon as you start talking about the resultant ideas that successive authors, academics, and philosophers have created in response to the original work, /lit/'s eyes glaze over, as it wasn't included in their course readings.

Emblematic of this is how their "start with the Greeks" phrase means a majority of their "philosophers" know nothing past the Greeks, and cannot speak to anything beyond them.

This is literally why I argued for not having a wiki and instead putting research basics into a sticky

>>2964116
/lit/ wiki is very nice though I don't see why /his/ can't make it similar to that board's

>>2964203
Two reasons: First, this board is /pol/ with dates and not an academic board by any stretch of the imagination (though there are a few of us). Second, spoonfeeding books is easy for /lit/ whereas for academic /his/ things need to be carefully constructed to maintain objectivity as well as some topics being so niche that a sticky teaching basic research techniques is a far better solution than a wiki so that people may learn to find books for themselves. Honestly, it's not that hard to recommend basic literature and most of the /lit/ wiki is just copy pasted high school reading lists. Recommending academic literature for niche subjects is a different ballgame in a completely separate ballpark, despite the surface-level similarities. Obviously teaching in-depth historiographical philosophy and methods is out of the question, but the basics should surmise. It's never going to happen though. I've put in probably a dozen sticky requests without so much as a response from Hiroshimoot or whatever little moderation team we have.

>>2964245
how do we teach basic research method then, would we write something ourselves on the wiki or would we make a list of books about historiography, such as E.H. Carr, Bloch and important books and articles that either discuss historical writing or are a stellar example of historical technique

>>2904973
I just realized how pathetic of a board /his/ is when all /his/ related content is created by /pol/, /tg/ and /gsg/

>>2964823
half of the stuff in this thread was created by /his/.
>>2905327
and the next 20 or so pics below it
and these charts
>>2908122
>>2912632
>>2936505
>>2941603
also a lot of the stuff here is /lit/ charts. the /pol/ charts are abominable and i dont see any tg or gsg charts here

>>2964814
Well, my suggestion was to just put basic research methodology in a sticky. It's not like it's complex as it's found in literally every HIS101 course. A wiki would also need to be put in a sticky to achieve its full potential but this board is effectively ignored so it's a moot point either way. I don't think teaching actual historiography is something we should really delve into as it's not something normies and pseuds (i.e. the people that come here) can really get into.

Any /his/ guide for eastern civilization, especially china?

Explain pop history because I own several of those books.

>>2970165
Pop history, in my interpretation, is a historical work that thrives largely on:
-creating a narrative that is lacking in sources
-Attempts to simplify things to the general public
-Written by people who aren't trained historians

It's acceptable for introductory work, but not as a legitimate base to argue from.

>>2970263
