Hobsbawm (age of revolution/capital/empire + invention of tradition) is good for modern, new Kershaw is good for 20th century, but I don't know what you're looking for.
Don't fall for the meme that an ancient work like Decline and Fall of Roman Empire is at all historical.
I guess stuff like Said's Orientalism is a must-read for history.
