Autobiographies and Biographies

At a very young age, I remember my father telling me about books and genres he loved to read. He has a strong affinity for ancient history and archeology, the bible (old testament), and how it relates to the history of the Jewish people. He is also a doctor, and when he’d want to learn about a disease, he’d go read the contemporary writings of physicians and others at the time that disease was discovered. After all, what better way is there to learn to diagnose someone than by understanding what symptoms tipped physicians off way back when?

Basically, my dad likes going back in time and getting to the source of any account. As for history, his favorite way to learn it – whether historical events or the history of thoughts and ideas – was to read autobiographies and biographies. I couldn’t agree more.

One of the most popular topics on Books of Liberty, history, is a fascinating subject to read. Given the nature of this site it didn’t quite make sense to create a category of ‘revisionist history’ since most of the history books featured are of that nature. Sure enough, there are books with uncontested historical accounts of various historical events, but when you search for history and drill further down into a specific topic (such as various wars, Pearl Harbor, The New Deal or the Great Depression), you are going to get intellectually honest ‘revisionist’ accounts of these events.

While you may expand your history search by historical event or by selecting US history or the history of some other area or nation, we have classified the history texts by period as well. You can indulge your curiosity if you are an avid reader of one of or more of the following periods: Antiquity, Biblical period, Classical period, Medieval period or the Middle ages, Early modern period, the Renaissance, or specifically within the last few hundred years, as grouped by: 16th Century, 17th Century, 18th Century, 19th Century, or the 20th Century.

And speaking of indulging yourself, with several dozen books on conspiracy theories, you may brush up on such topics as 9/11, the New World Order, False Flag operations, or on the Kennedy deaths, or various institutions and secret societies like The Illuminati, The Freemasons, Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Tavistock Institute, or even Skull & Bones.

For those, like me, who were turned off by history during the public school years, I can tell you that there really is something for everyone within these topics, it’s just a matter of finding what piques your interest. And as always, thank you for reading!
