A great selection in July 2023 with a surprisingly large number of books on ancient history - 6 out of the 12 published. (A quick google reveals that there is no such thing as Ancient History Month!)
Click the book covers to see a zoomed in image and links to Amazon if you like to buy your books there.
A few that I particularly like the look of:
-
Life and Afterlife in Ancient China, by Jessica Rawson - written by the warden of my old university college so I am curious to have a look... it seems to be something like a cultural history of ancient China in 12 burials.
-
Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age, by Tom Holland - I've enjoyed a couple of Tom Holland's other books and I'm sure this one will be a good read too.
-
The Age of Atlantic Revolution: The Fall and Rise of a Connected World, by Patrick Griffin - I had a quick look at the sample on Amazon: the intro looked fascinating and well written, with the book covering revolutions in late 18th century / early 19th century North America, France, Ireland and South America.
