Don't Know Much About History by Kenneth C. Davis is pretty good if you want obscure American history stuff, but I don't know how reliable the information in it is.

Complete History of Byzantium by John Julius Norwich my favorite, but it's actually three books :o |

| Sethomas | Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, definitely. It covers the Hundred Years War pretty intensely and beautifully done. |

Excellent history-type books Anyone have any recommendations? I'm currently halfway through the second volume of Shelby Foote's The Civil War: A Narrative and it's the most spectacular work on the subject I've ever read. |
