I've looked at the book list, but none of the ones listed see to be on the Restoration itself, rather than Japan immediately before and/or after. Otherwise it seems to be books detailing the whole of Japanese history that would cover it. So, are there any books with the main focus on the Meiji Restoration itself? Thank you, in advance.

There's so many listed on Amazon that I'm having trouble finding one that stands out as definitive.

Let the Trumpet Sound by Oates looks good, but there are some critiques that the style is too academic.

I'd love to find a riveting and in-depth book like Team of Rivals about Lincoln.

Happy MLK Day, I hope everyone goes to see Selma. :)

I was unable to find anything about this topic in the FAQ. Casual googling didn't give me an answer backed by any reputable sources.

I'm learning about Georgia's history (since I live in the state) and I was wondering if I could get a more in depth explanation here.

I'm reading "Journey to a Revolution" by Michael Korda, and he has a throwaway line about how army officers who emigrated after Kossuth's failed revolution ended up in high command in the Union Army during the civil war. Is this true? If so, what kind of impact did the Hungarians have in the war?

Because despite winning the Punic wars, it apsolutely gave the Republic a beating. Apparently 1/5 of the male population of Rome died in the war.

How long did it take for each to grow back?

Did medieval Jewish leaders encourage people to adopt those names?

Cannot find with google, but I'm not good at using google, so this is probably a stupid question.

I'm interested in both strategy and tactics. Were wars fought similar to how wars in Europe were fought at the time?

We can clearly look back now and see that European diseases like smallpox killed millions of Native Americans. Did the explorers realize that this was occurring, or did they think it was mostly coincidence?

Also an unrelated question, what is the 'correct' term for referring to the people who inhabited North America (including the Caribbean) prior to the arrival of Europeans? I've heard "natives", "native Americans" and "Indians" from professors. Which is considered correct?
