  2. If you love your history, then you will love this collection of books by Onswish review. Thebes by Paul Cartledge The art of fusing scholarship with readability is similarly evident in Paul Cartledge’s history of Thebes (Picador), a city that has always been the ugly duckling of ancient Greek history. The great value is that it enables us to see the Thebans not through the eyes of their enemies but as they would have wished to be seen. The Light Ages by Seb Falk This book is stunning: both exquisitely written and so very smart. By following the life of one little-known monk, John of Westwyk, Falk opens up for us the sophisticated and utterly different ways in which people in the Middle Ages thought and makes us question our assumptions about the medieval past. Hitler: Downfall 1939-1945 by Volker Ullrich One of my favourite books from 2020 was Hitler: Downfall 1939-1945 (Bodley Head). While complementing other classic biographies of the dictator, Volker Ullrich’s superb and supreme new biography is also fresh, up-to-date, intelligent and beautifully written. I think it’s the best biography of Hitler written so far.

  3. A Kick in the Belly: Women, Slavery and Resistance by Stella Dadzie Transatlantic slavery is one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented periods of history. Stella Dadzie offers a much-needed corrective by centring on black women’s experiences forcedinto the plantation system in A Kick in the Belly: Women, Slavery and Resistance (Verso). The horrors of enslavement, its impact on Africa, Britain’s central role, and most importantly, the fierce resistance both on the African continent and in the Americas are all evocatively drawn out. Contrary to popular narratives, black women were active agents in this history. If you are looking for more historical reads like these, then check out Onswish review.
