So I’m sharing some of my favorite world history books here. Some of them cover overall history of an area, or the overall history of us. Some of them put historical events side by side to make it easier to comprehend that a lot of this stuff was quite literally happening at the same time. Others are what I like to refer to as “domino history,” where you follow one item or idea throughout history and see the effect it has had, how one thing that seemed so insignificant and unrelated to everything else allowed empires to be built. Here. Read. Enjoy. Look how amazing we’ve been, how awful we’ve been, how the world around us was built to what we see today. These are definitely must reads.
If you’re still looking to scratch that history itch, or if this has just started you down the rabbit hole, I recommend checking out our list of inclusive American history books, or maybe this list of historical nonfiction.
