My understanding of history is pretty pathetic, and I am trying to improve it. Looking for a book that isn’t revisionist, racist, or full of colonial apologia. Something that goes as far back as the 15th century would be perfect.

I appreciate this recommendation, thanks! Do you have any suggestions for books that are not centered around America?

A people’s history of the world by Chris Harman, Open veins of Latin America, how Europe underdeveloped Africa, anything by Gerald Horne, the age of series by Hobsbawm, 1491, 1493, (actually those last two might be Americas focused), Micheal Hudson’s work, and that’s all I can think of for world history back to then.
