History Books

Someone has rightly said, ‘History is the best way to study case studies, so that we don’t commit the blunder of our ancestors’. What is history? a continuous, systematic narrative of past events as relating to a particular people, country, period, person, etc., usually written as a chronological account; chronicle. Since historians are simultaneously observers and participants, the historical works they produce are written from the perspective of their own time and sometimes with due concern for possible lessons for their own future. Traditionally, historians have recorded events of the past, either in writing or by passing on an oral tradition, and have attempted to answer historical questions through the study of written documents and oral accounts.

So, even if you are not a history student try to know as much history as possible. History books may range from different countries like those about Europe, United States, and Africa or may be social history or just about Expeditions & Discoveries etc. A few famous books on history are:

* The French Revolution
* The War of American Independence
* A History of India Volume 1
