Why are you asking /lit/ to fill in your NON-FICTION shelf? non-fic should comprise of shit you WANT to know/learn about. I can give you ideas if you list what you'd like to learn about, but holy shit, ask the right questions. Your shelf now consists of memes and random shit that doesn't suggest what it is you're trying to learn about.
>"I want to learn about everything"
You're retarded.

This. Especially as it pertains to non-fiction. Fucking read what you want and draw your own conclusions. Fucking hell, learn how to think for Christ's fucking sake. If you're unironically asking this, learn how to read before reading about how to think.

>you have to somehow figure it out yourself
How and Why?

I didn't see the Greeks at the top right corner last time I saw this picture. I'm glad to see that /lit/ has rubbed a bit of it's patrician taste on to you.
The main theme of your collection seems to be history, violence and politics. In that vein, I'd recommend four works. The first of these, towering well above the rest, is the "Complete Works and Others" by Nicollo Machiavelli, translated by Allan Gilbert in three volumes.
Machiavelli is a tremendously misunderstood thinker, which is mostly due to a partial exposure to his ideas by means of exclusively reading The Prince, and doing so selectively at that, more often than not in a flawed translation.
Machiavelli is a beast with a formidable insight into the drives of men and the world of politics. I cannot praise his genious high enough. For your interests in particular, he will also give you an excellent exposure to that militant Roman blood, which brings me to my next suggestions.
>The History of Rome, Livy
>The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon
>Considerations on the Causes of the Greatness of the Romans and their Decline, Montesquieu
