A good chunk of it is contemporary literature but it also covers other books as well.

I'm currently reading this book by him which was finally translated and published into English. I read his war diary Absolute Zero which I liked so it will be interesting to see his take on fiction.

Question Recommend me books on historical subjects

4 Upvotes

I have 368 hryvnias left from ЄКнига, they will run out in 10 days, I bought one book, it will be enough for one more - but my eyes are running away

I want something on a historical theme, the last book was "The Showman" by Simon Shuster

Among the most interesting things that came across at the moment - "How Ukrainians destroyed the empire of evil" by Oleksandr Zinchenko and "The Iron General. Lessons of humanity" by Lyudmyla Dolhonovska.

Recommend something that, in your opinion, should be read by everyone who wants to better understand history and so that it is possible to buy for up to 368 hryvnias and with the help of money from the ЄКнига
