I need to get my 40 year old nephew a birthday present, and was thinking of a history book. He was an undergraduate history major and enjoys reading history, particularly military history although not necessarily limited to that topic.
What I'm looking for is your recommendations as to the absolute best works of history you've read. Not ones that are simply good, but ones that are superb and put others to shame. Military history would be good, but if you've read a great book that's not military history, feel free to recommend it.
Fire 'em at me!
