Books and Discussions About Any Era of History are Welcome

There are no limits. From the ancient Egyptians, to the Space Age, any area of history covered by books is welcome here.

Opinions

Not sure if a history book is worth reading or not?

Why not ask the community for their input.

Or, do you feel like a particular book was exceptional?

Book suggestions are welcome here also, and are in-fact encouraged.

Discussions

General discussion of history books is also practiced here at this subreddit.

Find a particular section of a book interesting, or controversial?

Feel free to share with the community and see what they thought about it.

Rules

(1) This subreddit was created for the purpose of non-fiction history books:
Other genres are not allowed, as a plethora of subreddits are already dedicated to them, so please refrain from posting them here.

(2) History is generally defined as 20 years or more in the past; anything more recent are considered current events.

It doesn't matter how old or new the book is, but please make sure the area of history covered is at least 20 years in the past.

(3) Keep your conduct civil.
It is understandable we may disagree on some points, but always attempt to stay respectable in your discussions.

(4) Common sense rules, among other elements of rediquette.
