reading retrospective 2023: extremely thick and unexpectedly gripping general histories
#as a disclaimer for nonfiction books of like 450+ pages- no i havent' read every word no i haven't verified everything the author says etc
#etc
#but the gold war: a global history one i just dug up. i read most of it in high school when i had an IB depth study of the cold war
#it's a really interesting repositioning of the cold war by looking especially at africa latin america and asian nations and the smaller
#and domestic aspects of it. obvs can't say i agree with/can verify westad on everything
#but a super important repositioning incredibly critical of both us and soviet imperialism and the results
#the reformation is also interesting in terms of i will admit to not really reading the actual martin luther parts
#but macculloch goes into detail for hundreds of pages about the reformation as social revolution and that is FASCINATING holy moly
#the stuff with gender. with family structure and homosexuality and whichcraft and sex and death and how this affected social patterns and
#ordinary people
#ditto last call. haven't finished this but a nuanced history of nuanced issues and the feminist and progressive concerns at play also
#fascinating
#anyway. just like not what i expected from the cover unexpectly gripping
