Any era is welcome but I’m especially interested in modern history.
I know that having just one book which talks about the history of the whole world would be difficult but let’s see if you guys know something (series are welcomed suggestions too).
Whole world? No, nothing satisfactory. Individual parts? I like Blackshirts and Reds because it’s a quick read and Parenti is a fantastic writer, though it focuses more on historical analysis than reciting historical events. It talks more about history than tells you history, if that makes sense.
Blowback is a podcast and not a book, but is fantastic and is more of a “telling you history” podcast than talking about history, if you instead wanted to learn more events than analysis of them.
