The Thirty Years’ War edited by Geoffrey Parker (Purchased from Amazon)
The second edition of this classic work has been thoroughly revised, synthesizing the major work in the field, in all languages, up to the present day. Covering the horrors of the war, the contorted politics of the period and all the major figures, the new edition includes maps, a six-nation chronology, genealogies and an index which gives the birthdate and other pertinent facts about each person listed.
A Dying Light in Corduba by Lindsey Davis (Paperbackswap)
In this latest addition to a durable series, Marcus Didius Falco travels to the distant province of Baetica, pregnant girlfriend in tow, to investigate a possible olive oil cartel. The emphasis in this historical mystery is as much on historical as mystery, with solid detail and vivid insights that bring the ancient Roman alive. But the plotting, though leisurely, is nicely suspenseful and the ending worth the wait.
