What should be a required reading list to comment on /his/?

>>2986521

This desu

>>2986521
I agree

>>2986521
Too controversial and theoretical to be on the "required" list.

this one definitely

>>2986579
The fact that it's controversial is exactly why in my opinion it should be read. Fires those neurons you know?

Depends on the period of history, for antiquity, I'd say the following should be sufficient for at least a basic grasp.

Herodotus
Thucydides
Polybius

Everything about how he's holding that bow and drawing that arrow is wrong.

How about required watching instead

>>2986671
No some areas use that "thumb grip" (not to be confused with the "Mongolian draw" with thumb ring).

That melanin-enhanced gentleman probably taught him to draw like that.

>>2986521
you mean "required burning"

>>2986521
True. Even if you don't agree with most or everything in the book, it's best to at least read it to know why. This way, you form well rounded opinions.

The Wages of Destruction.

Bloodlands.

All John Green and lindybeige videos.

>>2987040
Get a load of this triggered pussy.

>>2987366
Haven't watched any Lindybeige videos, but I've seen a few by John and they freaking awesome!

If that rag is going to be on the list then you may as well add "A People's History of the United States," "How the Irish Saved Civilization" or other such revisionist trash.

Is there any truth to this series or is it just a load of bullshit? What do they say about the Holocaust?

>>2987604
it's six hours so I haven't watched it all...

but the general vibe isn't really "the holocaust never happened" but more like "hitler/nazi germany was more complex than you realize"

Per that other Anon in the past thread. Inb4 that leftypol-tard that gets triggered by Bloodlands.

>>2987625
So, uh.... ya like ww1?

>>2987856
That Anon had said that the list has room to grow, but those books had been recommended by /his/ to him in these types of threads.

>>2987604
Pure bullshit. It's nothing more than a low-quality /pol/ meme that is only taken seriously by NEETs who have lost all hope in life so they turn to hating minorities and falling for literal Nazi propaganda because they are just that detached from reality.

carry on

Similarly, pic related. Speer has an inside view, but he also has a pretty major bias.

>GG&S
nice bait

The Collapse of Complex Societies by Tainter

>>2987577
我们

>>2986588
Yep.

>>2986521
required burning list maybe

>>2986521
that book is rubbish
you should read some stuff by actual historians, not this garbo

>>2987577
You know those insane Ancient Aliens people who believe every single innovation ever created was a gift from super advanced aliens?
Replace aliens with Chinese and you get that book.

>>2986579
>Too controversial
It's on the reading list of most college history 101 courses. It's not fucking Braudel, but it's a tolerable entry level book on historical geography.
The only bad part is that the author writes in a rather affected fashion that gets really bothersome.

>>2987604
it's pretty much all bullshit

If you give even the tiniest shit about naval history, read these. They're fucking long but really good. First one is more personal and political and leads up to WW1, and the second one is more technical but still involves a good chunk of policy.

They're extremely detailed and not just about botes, but botes are cool so they feature heavily. Don't expect much trench warfare tho.

>>2987604
Some of the shit in the movie, like the Danzig Massacre, is completely made up.

>>2987343

This book is like GG&S, but better in every way. Also read The West and the Rest

>>2987625
It has some of the Penguin History of Europe, but not all. Any reason why?
