Unfortunately, there’s no dedicated history territory here where I could post this, but since this territory is about books, I think it fits best here. If you’re interested in history, as I am, and enjoy digging into the roots of events but prefer a brief introduction first, you’ll find this book really, really amazing. Personally, I love books with illustrations and concise facts, and I have a special interest in books about wars. I hope you’ll enjoy this one! I’ll share some of my Screenshots I took from it as well. This book is definitely great for gaining foundational knowledge, but I’m looking for more recommendations that dive deeper, especially on both World Wars. Your suggestions would be much appreciated!
