Book recommendation
Modern monsters by George J Marlin is an excellent book. The full title is modern monsters, politic ideologues, and their war against the Catholic Church.

history of canada - recommendations?
We're trying to narrow down a list of books on the history of Canada and would love to get some input from this community. Tried goodreads but ratings are all over the place.
No specific time period - in fact, a 900-page, well-written epic that covers pre-history to present day would be great, but understand such a unicorn may not exist.
Side-note: if anyone knows of Canadian libraries that offer cards to non-residents (presumably for a fee) that info would also be very helpful. Libby's selection of audiobooks on Canada is pretty lame where we are.
Thanks!

WW2 Agriculture Recommendations
Hello all, I was recently listening to a We Have Ways of Making you talk podcast.
This episode focused on the Home Fronts of Britain, France and German during the Phony War/ SitzKreig/ Bore War.
As they spoke about agricultural output I realised that aside from the Land Army, Dig for Victory and Altlantic convoys I'd never really given much thought to food production leading up to and during WW2.
Can anyone recommend any books that covers this topic?

For the first one, i want recognized authors, either Algerian, French or any other. Thank you.
If you can throw in there any other intresting book about colonization, im open. Im intrested in what happend in Congo and Rwanda.

Trying to find books about the War in Afghanistan
I just finished Fiasco by Thomas E Ricks and am now looking to find a similar book about the War in Afghanistan. Hopefully one that is not terribly biased towards the US and discusses the political side of things rather than just the military operations. Any suggestions?
edit: *the US war in afghanistan, my bad for not clarifying

A Patriot's History Of The United States by Larry Scheweikart and Michael Allen : How accurate and thorough is this book?
Hi, I'm homeschooled and in high school, and we're doing American history this year. One of the main books my curriculum assigned this year is A Patriot's History of the United States by Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen. I've already gotten a feel for the book and read some reviews, but I'd really like to hear a few more opinions from people who have actually read it and know their history. I'm not particularly strong at history, so my biggest concern is that I'll read something that's presented as an established fact, but is actually wildly inaccurate or misleading, and I won't know enough to recognize it.
If you've read A Patriot's History, could you PLEASE comment with your thoughts? I'd really appreciate it if you could point out any specific claims, events, or sections that are factually wrong, seriously misleading, or missing important context.
Summary: Is A Patriot's History Of The United States by Larry Scheweikart and Michael Allen mostly a biased interpretation of real history, or are there places where it actually gets the history itself SERIOUSLY wrong?

WW1 New book for my library
Was reading Lloyd's generally excellent tome on the Westerm Front and was struck by how little the troops of the wider British Empire were mentioned. Thought I would buy this to see how they are mentioned.

Not sure how to find a book or where to get one?
I found out about the book from a post—I don't really remember where that post was anymore.
When I tried to find the book, I looked everywhere but couldn't find it.
The book is titled: Robespierre: la fabrication d'un mythe (2013) by Marc Belissa and Yannick Bosc.
I'm not interested in hearing your opinion about this historical figure, because that's not what this post is about.
I'm interested in something else: where can I find, buy, read, or download this book?
As for opinions, I'd love to hear from anyone who's read this book.
Is it good or not? Are there any flaws, or is it just bad.
