If you've not already read it, the Tattooist of Auschwitz is interesting. I'm a big fan of Tracy Borman for biographies.
Fiction wise, Kate Mosse has some great books around French religious wars. Conn Iggulden's Wars of the Roses series is good too. |

No. Any. Love factual that’s Made into a bit of a ‘story’ though.
At the moment I’m reading about the boer war and before that was ‘the floating brothel’ about women being transported to Australia. X |

Dan Jones has a really fluent style - he draws out the stories in the events he's writing about! |

I am working my way through "History Of The Russian Revolution" by Leon Trotsky. Nearly a thousand pages long so not a quick read, but a very rewarding one if you like historical accounts. |
