Caesar by Adrian Goldsworthy

The Great Mortality by John Kelly
A telling book given recent events, The Great Mortality looks at real accounts of people living during The Black Death. Narrator Matthew Lloyd Davies brings these accounts to life in a way that is both enlightening and terrifying.
The Last Lion by William Manchester
