Suggest me books that makes you understand history more efficiently.

I was thinking in books like:

• "What Is History?" By Edward Hallett Carr

• "The Historian's Craft: Reflections on the Nature and Uses of History and the Techniques and Methods of Those Who Write It" By Marc Bloch

• "The Idea of History" By R. G. Collingwood

• "The Landscape of History: How Historians Map the Past" By John Lewis Gaddis

But haven't read them yet so I don't know if they're precisely what I'm looking for.
