Recently went on vacation to Austria and learned a lot about the local history from museums. Particularly in regards to the Habsburg Dynasty and their reign over the Holy Roman Empire, and their conflict with the Ottomans. I like reading history books but I typically only read about WWII. I’m wondering if there are any books on this era with good narrative/engaging writing.
In terms of what I like in history writing – I’m a fan of Rick Atkinson’s liberation trilogy and Ian Toll’s Pacific war trilogy.
