Can you suggest a history book that is written like its a story and reading it doesn’t feel like im studying history for some kind of school exam (if that makes sense)
It can be history of any place or any time, i just want to get into history more.

Any of the “killing series” books by Bill O’Reilly.
Killing Patton,
Killing the Rising Sun,
Killing Kennedy,
Killing the SS,
Killing England,
Killing Reagan,
To name a few…
They’re all done extremely well and the chapters are short.
Alison Weir’s books on Tudor England are easy reads.
C J Sansom’s Shardlake books are great. A hunchbacked lawyer solving mysteries in Tudor England. Dissolution is the first one.
The Mechanical Turk, about a chess-playing automaton in the 1800s.
A Game of Birds and Wolves, about the people who developed the board game that helped the Allies beat the Nazi subs in the North Atlantic.
The Escape Artist by Jonathan Freedland. About one of the few prisoners ever to escape Auschwitz, reads like a thriller!
