Here are several history books I’ve read in the last few months.  These are ones I’d recommend. 

Very fascinating read but all the freaking mistresses got annoying.  The author doesn’t quite understand the Russian Orthodox Church and uses Latin Catholic terms instead of Russian Orthodox. But that isn’t all that much. But the mistresses and ministers, oy vey. 

A good history of the pro-life movement in the US starting early in the 20th century and covering a bit after Roe very. Wade. There are some issues with regards to Catholic Church teaching and statistics used in the epilogue are considered false but those are the only issues. 

I had no idea North Korea had done this.  I saw this book at the library and walked by it several times over several weeks before I picked it up. Rather interesting look at how North Korea attempted to pass on its ideology in a weird way but failed. 

A good overview of the Roman Republic and later Empire without being bogged down in names and places.  A few issues but nothing that detracts. The author does look at things outside who is emperor and the ruling class which adds to overall understanding. 

While not a history per se, this book does cover the effects of the one child policy on China and its population.  A policy started by military scientists with no understanding of human populations which would eventually cause irreparable harm to its own people, economy, and infrastructure.
