All of Oliver North’s books are good. David McCullough “Adams” and my favorite is his “1776” as a first cousin 6 times removed was killed in the battle of Long Island.

I recommend:
Paul Johnson's MODERN TIME.
Arthur Herman's HOW THE SCOTS INVENTED THE MODERN WORLD: THE TRUE STORY OF HOW WESTERN EUROPE'S POOREST NATION CREATED OUR WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT
Thomas Sewell's BLACK REDNECKS AND WHITE LIBERALS
Those should make for an interesting start.

Have you ever heard of the Politically Incorrect Guides? They have great books on lots of different topics: military history, political history, Islam, environmentalism, and etc.

A nice mix of war and politics, with emphasis on war.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy them. They are very educational. The ones I have read have all been good reads.

Try The Forgotten 500 by Gregory Freeman. Not only is it a good, harrowing action-adventure story of how a few OSS operatives set up a network to rescue downed allied flyers in the Balkans, it also delves into the political intrigue and infiltration of communists into US and British intelligence and the role they played in carving up post-war Europe.

Case Closed by Gerald Posner is a great one if you haven’t already read it. It’s about the JFK assassination and makes a powerful case that it was Oswald working alone.
And anything by Thomas Sowell is good of course. The one people usually recommend is Conflict of Visions but I like Quest for Cosmic Justice too.

I really liked both of Jay Winik's books:
April 1865
