Anyone have any recommendations for non fiction books about a particular event or time period? Special points for primary sources or people writing about something they lived through.
Jack Weatherford’s books about the Mongol empire are quite good from what I have heard.
Al-Waqidi is a Muslim historian from the height of the Abbasid caliphate, he wrote many books about Dar Al-Islam. Ibn Battuta as well of course, his writings are all we know about some Islamic civilizations.
Mark Felton is an excellent ww2 historian, also has a YouTube channel, 10/10.
Konstantin Paustovsky wrote a great series of books about all the turmoil in Russia in the first half of the 20th century.
Absolutely agree! Jack Weatherford's insight into the Mongol empire is truly fascinating, offering a unique perspective on history. Al-Waqidi and Ibn Battuta's contributions to our understanding of Islamic civilizations are invaluable, providing a rich tapestry of knowledge. And Mark Felton's expertise in WWII history, coupled with his engaging YouTube channel, makes him a must-follow for any history enthusiast.
A book of non-fiction advice focusing on a particular event that includes primary sources or the author's personal experiences:
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank - This is the diary of a young Jewish girl, Anne Frank, who lived in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. It provides an intimate and personal account of life during World War II.
