I've read War Without Mercy and America's Longest War. I highly recommend America's Longest War. War Without Mercy grasps at straws too much, but it's likely pretty easy to write about as I wrote a 5-page book review on it in uni.

>the sheer amount of kike academic names in the recent American historical canon
Possibly fully half of these authors are kikes, kek.
It's all going to be dry middlebrow academic histories anon. Just pick a topic that interests you and also doesn't have a crazy page count, then punch up your book report.
The one book on your list that I have any familiarity with is Higham, and I barely read any of it; the professor (herself a kike) made very clear that the book had a multi-decade staying power among academic histories, which in her telling is almost unheard of among such texts.

>Alfred D. Chandler. The Visible Hand
I haven't read his work, but we talked about it a lot in my Economic History of America class. I think that work would be fairly dense.

To be fair, half of the threads on this fucking board have no clear subject. It'll be an unnamed picture of some figure with the caption "Was it autism?" or "What the fuck was his problem?" or something else retarded like that. It was completely reasonable for him to assume there was no list coming.
