Hey guys I just need some good book recommendations. I was in a class and someone asked me what books I read about history since I critiqued what we learn in schools. The only problem is I haven't read that many. So I'm asking my fellow Chapos to assist me in finding good history topics about race, gender, and general history. I appreciate all suggestions and free pdfs would be greatly appreciated.
PS: Feel free to bully me if there is already a resource posted somewhere on this.
Some of my favorite history books which are more fun:
October by China Mieville: the story of the Bolshevik revolution told almost like a novel
Atomic Accidents and Atomic Adventures by James Mahaffey: all the dumb shit that people have done with radioactive elements that got them killed, and all the crazy projects dreamed up by dead-eyed psychopaths during the Cold War
The Alcoholic Republic by William J. Rorabaugh: the history of Americans being drunken idiots
Thanks!
These sound fun
