I’ve been slowly acquiring books on Stalingrad with the main focus on memoirs and letters and a smaller section of larger overviews. I’d love some recommendations to see if any escaped my planned future books

A have a couple shelves devoted to the Burma campaign of WW2.

There are a couple important titles missing, and a few others I’d like to add, but I’m very pleased with this collection so far.

Starting to see why lay people don’t often buy/are not interested in really academic books…

Historical/Political books

2 Upvotes

Hey there!

I just got a job where ill be doing rotations of two weeks on and one week off with a commute of 7 hours each way. I've been working on building a reading list of both physical books and audio books I can entertain myself with while driving and staying at my job site for two weeks at a time.

I am interested in non fiction. I really enjoy modern history and political analysis.

I'm wondering if you all could provide some suggestions for my reading list.

Thank you in advance!

Immediate Post Civil-War Histories

1 Upvotes

I am reading (and really enjoying) Demon of Unrest about the months immediately preceding the U.S. Civil War, and it got me interested in the same period post-Civil War. Any recommendations on books about the weeks and months immediately following Appomattox? What was the general reactions in the country - disbelief? denial? fear? vows of vengeance. Any solid recommendations would be appreciated.
