I read a blog post by Jeff Maurer in which he writes, “History contains endless lessons about character and social dynamics that transcend place and time. Dads like history because they’re looking for answers, and history is one of the only places that has them.” I'm wondering if you've read any history books that were especially novelistic in their depictions of people and how they function. I'm currently reading the five-volume Hundred Years' War, I'm slowly buying up all of Robert Caro's LBJ books, I'm acquiring various biographies of Churchill, but I'm always on the hunt for more history. As a writer, I find this sort of book psychologically fascinating.
