Pretty self-explanatory. I'm really interested in learning about the history of Germanic tribes/culture/people. So if anyone knows a good book, please let me know.

The Battle That Stopped Rome by Peter Wells. Covers the slaughter of three Roman legions by Germanic tribesmen.

Not a book but Dan Carlin's excellent Hardcore History podcasts touches on the Germanic tribes in form of Thor's Angles. Most of your "history" will come from the Romans since the tribes didn't record history themselves. One of the really interesting things about the germanic tribes is the fact that the Francs were a germanic tribe. They moved into France when the Romans moved out. Pippin the Short and Charlemagne (more correctly called Karl der Grosse) were essentially Germans.

I have an interest in Vercingetorix and his leadership of the Germanic tribes against Julius Caesar. If you don’t mind historical fiction, The Druid King by Norman Spinrad has some pretty good info from the Germanic rather than Roman perspective

Although fiction, The Iron Hand of Mars by Lindsey Davis is well researched and blends fiction with history.
