History Books

From the high seas of David Grann’s The Wager to timeless primers like Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny, history runs the gamut from the page-turning action of Band of Brothers to the detailed biographies of Ron Chernow. Whether you’re looking to read up on World History in the Roman Empire or American History during the Revolutionary War, you should know that the adage holds true — those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.
