Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you are ready to cite a book. (There is a link on the top right of the reply box.) It makes things so much easier for people to see your book recommendations, because they can see the cover and the links to the author. And it helps the Goodreads software connect books with groups that talk about them. When citing a book and/or author, please put the book cover, author's photo and author's link at the very bottom of the post after your text.

My name is Suzanne, and I live in the United States.
History has always been one of my favorite subjects. Even in high school, I was one of the few who read my history textbook for pleasure. If it’s well researched and written, I like just about any topic. However, I particularly like autobiographies, especially by non-famous people with no agenda other than to record their lives. Also, I’m researching my family tree, so I often select books that will help me understand an event an ancestor lived through or the period he or she lived in.

which I followed up with

and

Unfortunately, now I'm hooked and I've added at least a dozen more books on WWI to my TBR pile, and that barely even takes into consideration the many titles which have been published this year. In recognition of the inevitability that I will be reading many more titles on the subject, and to supplement the mostly horrible maps in the books above, I have bought two excellent WWI atlases which I can highly recommend:


Additionally, I'm just about to get started on the even more daunting subject of World War II.

My name is Michael and I'm a roving American English teacher. I have lived in various places in the USA and South Korea. I will also be in New Zealand shortly to study, travel, and work for a couple of years. I like to travel so I find reading history necessary for understanding more about the places I go and live. I'm interested in all sorts of history past and present. Thus I joined the group here in an attempt to include more history books into my reading each year.

Right now I have an interest in all things History of Science.

Hi fellow history buffs!
If you like to talk about the Crusades, then you will find me your best friend. I also have great interest about Early Christianity - up to Constantine's conversion, the War of Turkish Independence, and in general about the conflicts during the Sixties. Much of my knowledge is second-hand, thanks to scavenging the Wiki during free time in my office hours.
Regards,
Salafis

However my interest in reading books is about anti-imperialism, their lies and truth.
The coming of new government in power in India brought the imperialism to my country in full swing. So I got interested in India's political history. India's leaders after Independence etc.
I will really appreciate if the group help me to guide me about what books to read.
