When I was in middle school I read "Eleni", a book about Greek internment camps as the result of the Greek Civil War (something along those lines been years since I read it)
I was thinking about it and want more books that relate to history that I'm probably not familiar with. Don't want anything to do with the USA for the most part. I want "smaller" countries that don't get much attention.
WW2/WW1 is okay depending on which country but, not if it was a superpower at the time (Japan, Britain, USA etc)
Book can be any period as well 1200bc or 1820, doesn't matter.

Red Famine by Anne Applebaum
Mao’s Great Famine by Frank Dikötter
Definitely check out PASSAGE TO ARARAT by Michael Arlen. YOKOHAMA BURNING is a good one by Joshua Hammer, as is BLOSSOMS IN THE WIND by A.G. Sheftall. Oh, and Thomas Craughwell’s HOW THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS SHAPED THE MODERN WORLD.
