Mr. B's History and Biography Recommendations - Page 14

This is a list of 1,000 works related to political and world history. Full disclosure: I have not read all of these, but these are subjects that I find interesting, even the ones I don't particularly agree with related to politics. As far as American politics, books from the left and the right are on this list.
