You should try "Nathaniel's Nutmeg" by Giles Milton. It is an excellent, informative and very well-written account of the often bloody and uncompromising struggle between the Dutch Republic's VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie - East India Company) and the British East India Company for control of the very few islands (the Banda archipelago) in the world where nutmeg grew. It is somewhat more micro-history than some of the works quoted here, but when you consider the economic impact the spice trade had on the West, it certainly has a bearing on European history.

Helmut Walser-Smith's The Butcher's Tale: Murder and Anti-Semitism in a German Town is an excellent micro-history of antisemitism and blood-libel in 1900 Germany. Richard Kagan's Lucrecia's Dreams Politics and Prophecy in Sixteenth-Century Spain is another excellent example of this genre.

I'm new to the term microhistory, so my understanding may be a little off. That being said, I'd highly recommend A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, by the eminent Barbara Tuchman. It follows and uses the life of Enguerrand de Coucy VII, a powerful French noble and the last of his house, as a vehicle to describe the immense change that occurred in 1300s Europe.

From the dust cover: "Mrs. Tuchman anatomizes the century, revealing to us both the great rhythms of history and the grain and texture of domestic life as it was lived: what childhood was like; what marriage was like; how money, taxes and war dominated the lives of the serf, noble, and clergy alike."
