W.H. McNeill's The Pursuit of Power: Technology, Armed Force, and Society since A.D. 1000

I disagree. Having read this with much difficulty, its a hard read even for me, who devours military history books. More like a monograph than anything else.

I simply loved his turn on economics and the varying degrees of centralized control over time/culture. Some useful insights there. Thought it was a dense read, but not too tough to enjoy/make the connections.

I recommend this in every book-thread, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...ouse_of_Leaves it certainly isn't cheap but there isn't anything like it, it's an experiment in how far typography can go, some pages have only a few words, it's truly a descent into total madness like no other.
