I would enjoy to have any book recommendations on the "modern" (1850s-2020s) histories of nations such as Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, India, Pakistan, China (especially), Koreas, Japan (especially Imperial), Thailand, and Indonesia. I do not fear large books as I'd rather get more information and have better research. I am not a massive fan of biographies and don't want generalized history. If there is a book about one of these nations in only a small specific time period then I'll be happier than a hundreds years long slush of watered down history.
