A Distant Mirror and Guns of August, both by Barbara Tuchman. Really good stuff. Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West is also very good

I was a big fan of “The Great Game” It goes in depth into an overlooked but pivotal part of history. (The race for empire in Central Asia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Game_(Hopkirk_book)

One Summer by Bill Bryson was an excellent snapshot of a wild year. I think about it regularly.
