I liked 1491, a bit entry level but a good introduction to people who havent studied the subject.

I especially liked how his portrayal of pre-columbian america effectively destroys the whole "noble savage" bullshit, both the positives and negatives associated with the idea.

When europeans arrived, they encountered societies that had advanced culture and political systems, civil wars, genocides, and corruption. I hate the image that everyone on the continent was a peaceful nomad living with a small band in the forest, coexisting with nature. American natives were just as shitty of humans as the conquistadors that came to subjugate them.

A good redpill on pre-colombian america. Education (in America at least) strays so far from this stuff it might as well just be considered straight lying.

1493 is a great sequel that focuses more on the immediate global ramifications of the colombian exchange, and answers a lot of questions about the decline of China.
