Recommended books from the plain thick and thuggish
The Uses of the Past-- by Herbert J Muller (1953)
Empire's Workshop - Greg Grandin
The Guns of August -- Barbara Tuchman
Am about a third of the way through Millennium by Tom Holland, having loved his earlier two Rubicon and Persian Fire. Really good stuff - indepth analysis but with a very easy-to-read style.
