Hi fellow readers! I have always been a fiction reader, and a lover of fantastical fantasy. However, I watched the revenant for the first time last night (I know it is not entirely accurate) but I had an epiphany, that I know barely anything about history, minus major historical events. Then after the movie ended I found myself going down a history rabbit hole on Google.
What are some non-fiction books about history that you would reccomend as good beginner books? I’m particularly interested in the start of the new world, WWI and II, and native American history.
A People’s History Of The United States by Howard Zinn is a good one. It’s been a while since I read it, maybe five-seven years, but I remember it making history feel real. It made it feel like living through the here and now, through people’s eyes.
