Regardless of the topic I'm curious to see what is out there in terms of narrative history books. I like history books that try to recreate what happened and turn history into more of a story than a broad overview or dry accounting of facts. I like details. Examples of what I'm looking for include: The War that Made America by Fred Anderson, Devil in the White City by Erik Larson, Our Beloved Kin: A New History of King Phillip's War by Lisa Brooks (I've only read a little snippet but I think she does some reimagining of what the world of the Wamponoag was like).

Additionally I'm interested in books like Games without Rules: The Often-Interrupted History of Afghanistan by Tamim Ansary where the author kind of inserts some of their own personality and maybe a little humor while weaving a story. This is probably the most different from the other books mentioned but suggestions like Pirate Hunters by Robert Kurson, would also be welcome where historical facts and stories are integrated into a more modern story of trying to find out more about the past.

Thanks.
