As requested, here are the ten best history books I have read in the past couple of years (in my humble opinion). It was very difficult paring the list down to just ten, so actually there are eleven! I hope you enjoy!
1. Team of Rivals, Doris Kearns Goodwin
2. Lincoln, David Herbert Donald
3. His Excellency: Goerge Washington, Joseph Ellis
4. Mark Twain: A Life, R on Powers
5. The 33 Strategies of War, Robert Greene
6. The Guns of August, Barbara Tuchman
7. To Rule the Waves, Arthur Herman
8. Reagan's War, Peter Schweizer
9. Crucible of War, Fred Anderson
10. The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, H.W. Brands
11. Flyboys: A True Story of Courage, James Bradley
Has anyone read these? What are your thoughts? What would you add to the list?
