Favorite History Book

                                                     My 10 Favorite History Books
I Read much more history than historical fiction, so I thought I would share my favorite history books.  I have endeavored to pick books that are serious works of history introducing new ways of understanding old questions, and which are at the same time entertaining reads.  As the list makes clear, my preference in history tends towards works that explore the mentalities of the past, the unique ways that our ancestors understood their world.  Let me know your favorites.  I’m always looking for another great book to read. I am Shadin...
