My younger brother has been on a bit of a History bent for the last two weeks, and has been asking me for recommendations. Right now he is looking for something "like with Aztecs and poo poo" in his own words. So, can the thread recommend any decent history texts for the layman, especially around the Mexican area? EDIT: Actually, any and all decent layman texts might be good, especially if they have a "hook" like Stephen Clarkes books on British History being fairly funny.

He's just turned 18. ^^Didn't see this as I was posting but that looks like it could be a good fit.

quote:What is some good reading about Aparthied and all the stuff with Rhodesia? I keep seeing this come up lately with the right whining about white farmers but I don't feel really educated in the subject to feel confident talking about it. Asking for a friend. Can anyone recommend a good starting point?

This may not be strictly historical but are there any books about how armies of particular periods fought wars and battles? Like, how does a nation pre-railroad mobilise its forces, get their troops to the field and get them back. How did a general issue movement and attack orders before telephones? How did it change when telephones came along? How do you actually use a tank, or artillery on the battlefield? Closely related, can anyone recommend books on how ships and navies answered similar questions?
