History has always been interesting for me. How was the book?
I'm currently trying to finish
Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and
Mary, Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley. Been looking for a book by Alison Weir on
Eleanor of Aquitaine, but no luck.
Thing about history books though, is that you'd have to take the accounts with a grain of salt. Meaning, aside from reading history, you'd have to take the author's biases into account. Is she/he pro- or against the situation? Is she/he biased for or against the protagonist/s? The experience of reading a history book all the more interesting, especially when you start reading different authors on the same topic.
