I grew up in the US and I have always felt I lacked knowledge in world history. for example, I know little of the french revolution, Stalinist Russia, or the Chinese cultural revolution. what are some books on world history that you have found accessible and informative?
Not a book, but History Lapse https://historylapse.org/ (made by HN user domnuprofesor) is a nice combination of well-researched historical narrative and pretty pictures.
