Pay attention to citations. Read books that have lots of citations, and follow up on them.

Good strategy is to get some history books on different ideologies. James Billington has one "Fire in the Minds of Men" that has very little original to say, but is just packed full of citations of people that were, at one point or another, widely read but now forgotten.
