Booktok Best Books!

What are the best history books I've read in the last year? To celebrate one year of sharing history and book recommendations, I'm counting down the books that taught me the most about some of the most important events and people in modern history. From Napoleon and Waterloo to the Russian Revolution, Mao's China, the struggle for women's rights in Iran, and the Syrian Revolution, these stories explore war, revolution, dictatorship, resistance, and the individuals who shaped history. If you're interested in history, geopolitics, international relations, or learning more about the forces that shaped the modern world, these are books worth adding to your reading list. 📚 Comment BOOK and I'll send the full reading list 📌 Save this for later 📤 Share with a fellow history lover 🎙 Follow for more history, geopolitics, and book recommendations
