One that’s a bit different: Rabid: A Cultural History of the World’s Most Diabolical Virus by Bill Wasik and Monica Murphy. It’s a history of rabies. Surprisingly interesting.
Lipstick Jihad by Azedah Moaveni. Maybe not historical (yet), but I loved this book. And I read very little nonfiction. I guess it’s technically a memoir. I don’t have an answer because 99% of the time I read fiction
The Devil in the White City The Things They Carried ( l believe that the book isn’t exactly nonfiction, but there is an underlying truth has more to do with lived experiences.)
I love Erik Larson books. I think my favorite would be either Beast in the Garden or Dead Wake…
“In the Garden of Beasts”, Brandy; that book’s a favorite of mine, too!

Anything by Phillippa Gregory and WW2 fiction. Loved The Book Thief, The Nightingale and The Storyteller
Reading Fire and Fury now. Sure it will be in that genre and one heck of a read!

Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich was riveting clear through…and, the book has relevance compared with recent political events.

The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks is good.
Hamilton by Chernow, it’s a huge book but it’s worth it

Anything by H. W. Brands.
I loved Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton and Jane Austen’s England by R. Atkins.
And Die in the West by Paula Mitchell Marks. It’s the story of the gunfight at the OK Corral.
“We Were the Lucky Ones” by Georgia Hunter and “All the Light we cannot see”
That book is beautiful x
