Can anyone recommend some good history books, and link a copy to them? My school textbook is full of anti-commie propaganda.
Oh, and I guess this is a general textbook thread
ALSO WHY CAN'T I POST ON TOR

founded by bill gates and his waifu. I think you need to sign up. But other than that all the books are free.

lol
I don't think are any history textbooks that are completely neutral. Your best bet is Wikipedia and primary/secondary sources, like contemporary newspapers, writers, historians, etc. But again, you'll have to filter through all kinds of propaganda then.

Gibbon's The Decline and Fall. I don't have a link handy.
It's definitely not revolutionary in breaking narratives though, it's responsible for a ton.

Honestly, I think you'll get the most accurate information reading a book about X, rather than reading about X in a history book.
After all, the devil's in the details.

Unfortunately the reason I don't use tor to browse clearnet; everything is derezzed or outright blocked.
Had no problems since switching to a cheap VPN.
