Obligatory, yes, but I'm just not into learning about Hitler. I feel he's very played out and everyone knows everything there is to know about him by now

Really want a book on Putin and Russian politics
Anyone read this? Reviews are good

these are really entertaing. I've only read the first two so far tho. LBJ was a fucking nut.

>>18855603
Nice. I'll keep them in mind if ever get the urge to learn more about him

>>18855313
If you want to learn about geopolitics, start with material addressing where money comes from.

>Putin’s Playbook
>Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America (Not including Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean)

The secret is to sit back and wait for it to implode

I'd like some book to read with more in-depth analysis and commentary though

What does your image have to do with your question?

qt asian girls are more interesting then world leaders

recent and the last volume isn't out yet but kotkin's got some lowkey funny prose.

>It was no longer enough for Social Democrat revolutionaries merely to struggle to evade arrest, while competing against rivals on the left like Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs), now they also had to battle the “other faction” in their own party at every party committee throughout the empire and abroad, even when they had a hard time articulating Bolshevik-Menshevik differences. Of course, sectarianism among revolutionaries was as common as cuckolding.

not really. I do want to fuck them very badly though.

Absolutely nothing but who cares?

Very nice. Any other good biographies of Stalin that don't span 3 volumes

Fear and Loathing in the Campaign Trail talks a bit about Nixon's personality and tastes, although it's not centered on it.

Not really. They're usually vapid whores. I'd rather read about great men and their accomplishments than some retarded Asian whore

That being said, Yujin is a qt and I love her

Does a non-biased book exist on Putin and Russian? I can't imagine there are many out there

Napoleon is a notoriously tough figure to have a definitive work on because there are so many wildly different opinions that historians can have on him. Andrew Roberts is your best bet though, his work is easy to read and excellently researched. I would also recommend Charles Esdaile's "Napoleon's Wars" if you want a more rounded view of Europe at the time. However be warned that Esdaile is decidedly anti-Napoleon, although he always backs up his opinions with good research.

I've listened to a few interviews he's done and he seems like a pretty entertaining guy in general.

>>18855586
Not a book but this interview is a decent introduction, especially if you're already somewhat familiar with Stalin

Montefiore's "Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar" is quite good although it isn't a full biography. Robert Service's biography is probably your best bet for a one volume biography though.

Excellent post anon. Thanks and I'll be looking more into all the ones you listed

>>18855603
Great books. The most detailed history books I've ever read. He goes into every single aspect that could have influenced LBJ.

Asian women are awful controlling social-climber cunts.

>>18857659
Was LBJ even that interesting of a person?

>>18856840
Boring
