Any era is welcome but I’m especially interested in modern history.

I know that having just one book which talks about the history of the whole world would be difficult but let’s see if you guys know something (series are welcomed suggestions too).

    I read a book called Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond which was quite good. It explores why certain civilisations were able to conquer others

    I’m always a fan of Edward Gibbon’s “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”. Been 20 years since I read it and I still think about some of the stories in that tome
