On the other hand Unieduck, history written by fiction writers of insight and genius might be better fare than those written by plodding historians.
The Fall Of Rome ~ R.A. Lafferty
An amazing book. When you finish this book you'll set it down and say, "Wow!".
Brilliant.
Okla Hannali ~ R.A. Lafferty
Although masquerading as a wonderful novel, after you finish reading it you will have more insight into the nature of the conflict between the white settlers and the southeastern american indians during the time of the Trail Of Tears than the many scholars who have written many dull, dry, lifeless books about those times. A careful read will bring you much fun.
The Portugal Story Three Centuries of Exploration and Discovery ~ John Dos Passos
One of the greatest fiction writers of the twentieth century abstracts pivotal events relevant to the evolution of western culture and charges the reader to a clear understanding of when, where, and why. Portugal is the focus but the nature of human behavior is the book.
These books should be available at any library of medium-to-large size.
