Hi! I just finished Fintan O'Toole's We Don't Know Ourselves and loved it. For those who haven't read it, it's a sort of history book-memoir combination that goes through the last century or so of Irish history, culture, and politics. I'm looking for a similarly comprehensive and readable history (though not necessarily with the personal connection angle) about another country or small region. I'm interested in everywhere – my only requirement is that it's not about a nation from the "Anglosphere".
