Gawl Dang I love me some historical nonfiction books.
Endurance: Shackletons incredible voyage by alfred lansing needs to me emphasized. Simply amazing. Phenomenal. Unbelievable. I read it twice and dont think I put it down much either time, sad its over kind of deal. That was the dudes only book, too, which is a shame because its so well written. Get this book but read in winter.
Keeping with boats, “Dead Wake” by Erik Larson. Lusitania. Excellent.
Empire of the Summer Moon by Gwyne is brutally fantastic. I love indian books, ive read countless, but that one is your best place to start.
Shelby Foote’s The Civil War trilogy is very unique and detailed. Foote is an excellent writer and historian.
Check out Jack Hinson’s One Man War by mkeeney(?) about a rogue civil war sniper. Its a lesser known book about an obscure aspect of the war. Ive read a ton of Civil War as well and this one is a unique but important story, easy read.
Im sure youve read Adams....if not....well, why not?
Road to Serfdom by Hayek is dry but brilliant. In the same economic tone try Basic Economics by the genius Thomas Sowell. Man that dude can explain everything in simple yet smart terms.
Life of Christ by Fulton Sheen is life changing. Best look at Jesus out there, imo.
Ever see The Revenant? The book, NOT the fiction one the movie is after, but the real historical biography of Hugh Glass is a great read. What a mountain man, cant believe he wasn't always the most famous. And what a journey! Id like another movie done that follows the real story. The Saga of Hugh Glass by John Myers Myers. Check it out.
Ill stop there as Ive already overdone it Im sure.
