This is a video WE needed! I've only read a bit of Dan Jones, but feel the need to cover his whole catalogue! Definitely need to try some Mary Beards well.... Will
Loved most of your recommendations on Instagram. Honestly, I would not have even thought of learning in any of those things that you put up there. So keep doing what you're doing. Keep inspiring
I have Hollow Crown and The Hollow Crown. By Mary Beard Emperor Of Rome and SPQR and The rise And Fall of The Dinosaurs. Say nothing was a very good read. Greek fire sounds great, for some reason it reminds me of a program I used to watch Deadliest Warrior. I loved that series.
I would add Peter Frankopan to the list. The Silk Roads: A New History of the World was a great book and covers a lot. Another approach to make history interesting, is to read history of some specific topic. For example -> Robert Macfarlane: Mountains of the mind covers the history of climbing and fascination with mountains. Guns, Germs and Steel is also a an interesting one (also transdisciplinary, but could get people to read more historical books)
Halfway through Say Nothing based off your rec from instagram a while back. It reads so amazingly well. I’m looking into authors other books. Have you read any of his other works?
I've read and enjoyed both Power and Thrones and SPQR so I'll definitely check some of the others out. That being said I've also read Destiny Disrupted and did not like it at all. While it was very easy to read, it was quite inaccurate in all sorts of easy to verify details (e.g. it gets the Ottoman millet system quite wrong, it describes the events around the fly-whisk incident incorrectly etc) which makes me doubt the accuracy of any of its broader conclusions.
Yo! I used to follow you on Tik Tok but I ditched the app a while back because it was taking up too much of my time. So glad you’re on Booktube now! Do you have any recommendations for Japanese history?
I started history with bloodlands by snyder but found it a little too extreme even if it s true but then i tried ghost on the throne and really hooked me even if i couldn’t keep up with all the names
Been following on instagram for a bit. Just wondering what your note taking process is when reading history books, if any, or does it depend on the book?

Just picked up Powers and Thrones, Rubicon, Persian Fire, and Fifth Sun on your recommendation! Gonna be a fall/winter of history haha
Band of brothers is the one that got me into reading history
This is awesome! Any chance we can get some American history recommendations in a future video?
yep!
I immediately found a used hardback copy of Greek Fire, Poison Arrows and Scorpion Bombs on Pango and purchased it.
Say Nothing is a phenomenal recommendation, will have to check out some of these others!
Awesome video. Adding tons to my tbr list
I’m currently taking a history of Rome class and there’s so many interesting topics I want to read into further, thanks for the recs!

@annacalifornia6498 hey thank you!
This is great timing; now I can get ready for nonfiction November with these recs!
Love this, exactly what I was looking for 🤝

I really like the angle by type of reader. Hopefully it also helps connecting people with your great channel. 🤘
Love your channel and Insta, man. Keep it up.

no thank YOU!
I’m very poorly read in history. These recs are great, and I’m looking forward to what else you have to say on the subject in the future.
Donald Kagan’s “The Peloponnesian War” is fantastic if you haven’t read it and really shows how the Greeks were left vulnerable for the Romans
Really liked that one, a different style from Thucydides and a great companion to him

Would highly recommend Erik Larson and Candice Millard too! Extremely readable and engaging stuff for history curious readers
Never clicked on a vid so fast

@@denisdavid4474 Ghost On the Throne really does do the best job possible with the complexity of that subject
What are you best recommendations for Scandinavian history/non fiction ??
