Good suggestion, may be I will buy this one.

None. I prefer watching documentaries or reading independent accounts of past events.

I recently took a course on Indigenous history and most of our course material was sourced from texts, articles, statistical reports, videos and even art rather than any single text book and I found that to be much more illuminating and eye-opening.

History, so many times, is distorted by the the historian. As the famous quote goes - "Perhaps no one has changed the course of history as much as historians."

My sis is an History PG student. So we have a lots of History Books in our house.

Some are : 1. Medieval India by Habib I.

2. India's Struggle for Independence

3. A History of the Modern World

4. Approaches to History

5. Sapiens

6. India's Ancient Past

People, India's ancient past is by R S Sharma (Ram Sharan)

Just a Lil typo I have a good 50-70 books on history at this point, PDFs run in 100s topic wise list mil sakti hai

Sapiens series isn't exactly a history book in sense of textbook. It's a thematic reading or an alternative history account of sorts. I've read Harari's other works too. It is written from a very specific perspective.
