I want to better understand the world. A book about an event or timeframe that is important to be knowledgeable on. Can be any timeframe about anything small or big.
Execution by Hunger by Miron Dolot. The author describes his experiences as a boy in Ukraine during the Soviet inflicted famine. Intense, readable. Important context for today’s war.

Just started 1177BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed by Eric Cline. Super interesting so far, and has many parallels with the world we live in today.
