Hello. Can anyone recommend to me a book or series of books on the general history of Europe?

@HernanCortes That’d be a fat ass series my dude

Yeah I feared so

I just don’t know where to begin. I think I heard Vox Day mention a series on one of his live streams?

Sounded very good from what I remember but probably very long and expensive

@HernanCortes Is there a particular region or period of interest?

I suppose after the fall of Rome would do

And Western Europe more so than Eastern Europe

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it's definitely worth a read.

Looks very interesting, thanks

This is incredibly short, but hilarious. A mix of history/philosophy.

Cataclysm 90 BC: The Forgotten War That Almost Destroyed Rome by Philip Matyszak

@HernanCortes If you're interested in reading primary sources I could gather a few works in the western canon for you to read. They are probably on PDF. Most contemporaneous accounts from medieval and early modern aren't too long either.

Especially if you're interested in Crusades

Yeah, that sounds like something I would be interested in

After thinking it over for a while, though, I’d like some help finding books on the history of individual European nations/peoples

I have a book on the history of Spain

I’d like to get some on the history of the British isles and France, for example

@HernanCortes

This is a great primer on the ideological and political forces that shaped modern France.

Excellent, thank you

I haven't read this yet, but came across and figured some might like to have it, supposedly the missing chapters of 200 Years Together:

@SamanthaM i am interested in a book on European history. I want something that is very broad based and general. A book that covers many major topics and events from a very high level. Basically i am looking for a book that is a mile wide and an inch deep so to speak. Do you have any in mind?

@Zyzz Hmm. Lemme look through the collection.

This was one of the first European history books I read. It’s pretty broad, and although there’s some slant, it’s not bad for the most part

@Karl Definitely a great recommendation.

Thanks @Karl

@Zyzz Ok, so I would definitely start with the book @Karl recommended. Great primer.

I'm also kind of slow with reading history, so what I really liked about this book is that it's divided into six parts, each corresponding to an important era in the development of European identity

This is the first part of a set which is a sweeping overview of Western development. Also slightly biased.

This is the second book in a series that's older and more detailed. Not a long read if you commit.

If you have the money, I would consider picking up a set of history books by Will and Ariel Durant. Biased (easy to clear through) but incredibly holistic. The only part that's completely inaccurate is in relation to the French Revolution.

Lastly, this might be almost unfindable, but it's a four part series on the history of the world (really just the West). Written in 1890. Mildly anti-Catholic, so be warned. Absolutely fantastic in depth.

Sorry, this is the pic

Thank you @SamanthaM

Samantha has a library in her home. #LifeGoals

Also! Forgot! This is a wonderful overview of the people, places, and ideas that have shaped the Western cultural landscape.

This one is great too, in terms of familiarizing oneself with differences in regional culture.

If anyone is interested, some of these books are out for loan, so feel free to message if you want one to borrow. @everyone

@John O - Thank you?

Kek, 😘

You're a treasure, Samantha

Thanks :) Just my job, lol.

Treasure : a quantity of precious metals, gems, or other valuable objects. Sounds like you're objecifying wamen

oh no

Comparing a female to a pile of shekels...

I raspact wamen, i swear

Oi Vey. Sounds serious

Cannot verify. As white knight task force member 003 I cannot allow this behavior to be tolerated

The Great Betrayal: The Memoirs of Ian Douglas Smith

When A Crocodile Eats The Sun by Peter Godwin (recommend by @John O -)

Both books are about Rhodesia

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good book on their Spanish heritage. 🇪🇸

@SamanthaM I think you should be our resident librarian :). Do you have a good suggestion for a book on Franco or the Falange? Thanks.

@Zyzz Lol, glad you asked. Just picked this up on Amazon. 100% recommend. There's another good one that I'll post later.

Also, anything by Antonio Primo de Rivera is absolutely essential!

For those interested in a cultural history of Europe, I recommend From Dawn to Decadence by Jacques Barzun. Here is an excerpt.

@SamanthaMHolds the tital for Queen of books! Lol ⚔📯👸

@celticflame Thanks. Btw, awesome white pill you pointed out in general!

Someone give her the 'IE Librarian' title

@SamanthaMyour welcome hon😉❤

Not our guy but he doesn’t shy away from mentioning all the chosen people and their role in the Soviet Union.

Great book on the Jewish Communist subversion and infiltration of the Catholic Church.

@nils One of the most fantastic books on the decline of Church power! Highly recommend.

Just throwing this out there, I’m a grad student of “modern” European history, so if any of y’all are ever curious about anything (especially regarding the prototypes to our movement and inspiring ideological, political and philosophical figures) just give me a shout. If I know the topic you’re curious about I’ll eventually get back to you. I love discussing the stuff so it’s no obligation to me

anyone have any books to recommend about the Byzantine empire?

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola Lost to the West by Lars Brownworth if you want a good survey, or The Byzantine Empire by Charles Oman if you like Victorian histories

I've heard it claimed often in Identitarian/alt-right circles that the ancient Greeks and Romans were much closer in appearence to modern north/north-west Europeans than the people who live in those countries today due to miscegination over time. Does anyone know what evidence there is for this claim?

@Travis - IN It’s not true. Modern greeks have more north euro ancestry today because of slav invasions in the 7th and 8th centuries
