Hi all!
I am looking for recommendations of books by historians, scholars, experts that can help my understand better the current political climate around the world and how things connect.
I'm completely open to those that focus on specific regions (EU, Americas, Middle East) etc., or specific actions (Iraq War, etc).
ie) Books that outline the historical path that has lead us to the most recent revolution in Iran, or the US's actions in Venezuela, the China's move into Africa, etc.
I studied much of these broad themes in college but want to dive back in to better improve my knowledge of current events, outside of just reading the news which I find is getting harder to get good reporting.
Been reading a lot about older history (Crusades, the Plague) lately but feeling the need to better understand more recent events.
