Any good history ones? Hunting for something new.
Haven’t breen reading history books for a while now. At least not like I used to.

What historical subject / era are you interested in?
Ive been looking for something either on the Chinese revolution or modern (Meiji and onwards) Japan. Both two interesting areas I really known very little about.
What I normally do:
- find the subject on Wikipedia
- scroll to ‘further reading’, and search those books on Amazon
- buy the books (or download them, it’s cheaper), based on the reviews.
Will give it a go. Thanks.
Found anything?

Found anything?
Went for a very general historical overview in "China: A History" and a more revolution focused one in "The Penguin History of Modern China: The Fall and Rise of a Great Power, 1850 - 2009". Just went to the top on kindle and looked at the reviews to make sure it was what I was looking for.

Both good, though the first obviously suffers from trying to cram far too much in one book.
