Here are some I've enjoyed recently:

The Righteous Mind by Haight

Napoleon bio by Roberts

The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History by Hackett-Fisher

Prisoners of Geography by Marshall

>> No.18686046

Dreadnought by Robert K Massie
Castles of Steel by Robert K Massie
Peter the Great by Robert K Massie
Catherine the Great by Robert K Massie
Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K Massie
I wish Robert K Massie was still alive, he's the comfiest non-fiction author I've ever read :(

I only noticed people recommending it after I did, so it must be good if people are echoing after me.
