The Heart of Everything That Is - Account of the life of Red Cloud, the only American Indian to win a war against the US. Fantastic read.
Jeruselam - Simon Seaboarg Arduous but fantastic read about that realm.
Nothing Like it in the World - Stephen Ambrose Great read on the American West and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad
What are you're favorites I need to check out next?

Have read the Brian Kilmead's (Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates and Washington's Secret Six). Now I am on The Guns of August.

I read a lot by Craig Symonds, old history department chair at the Navy. He writes a ton of good books on naval combat. I've read Midway, Lincoln and his admirals, and Project Neptune off the top of my head. He also wrote one on Gettysburg but it was a bit weaker as he finished someone else's work

'Ladies of Liberty' by Cokie Roberts. Not sure if it would appeal to a guy since Roberts has become a bit more feminist in her writing, but worth a read because it discusses a lot of behind-the-scenes happenings and looks at many female characters not widely written about.

Mary Beard's SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome. You'd definitely have to be interested in the subject matter to enjoy the book, but I think Beard is a pretty accessible writer.

Killing the Rising Sun
Legends & Lies series (I've read the first two so far)
Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies - Ben Macintyre - if you liked Washington's Secret Six, this is a WW2 version. This story will blow you away.

Im working my way thru this one. The Poetic Edda is next on my list. Just have to find which authors version I want to use.

This sounds good.
I'm currently reading the Plantagenets. Pretty self explanatory. Goes from Henry I to Richard II. Like it a lot but just started it.

Lost to the West is about the Byzantine empire. Incredibly easy to read.

What kind areas of history are you into? History is mainly what I read. Mostly European and American.

Just posted this on the Travel Board, but reading The Basque History of the World by Mark Kurlansky, in addition to our economic book club series. I'd highly recommend it for any travelers to French or Spanish Basque Country.

How's the Hochschild book? I came across it recently and almost bought it but decided to save it for later.
