Hello, I’ve taken an interest in global history and politics and would like to educate myself on these topics. I have no experience reading anything in either and am limited to the knowledge of a high school student. I’d appreciate any recommendations on books (relatively non biased) I could read to bring myself up to speed with everything going on at the moment. Thanks

Of what time in history? And where? The request is too vague 🙂
The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan
Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Stephen Kinzer
When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele
The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein
*The dawn of everything* by Davids Graeber and Wengrow is the most fascinating and informative history book I’ve ever read.
“The great divergence” by Kenneth Pommeranz (its about how the west became the dominant global power)
