Is there a book or a small collection of books that cover German East Africa? Stuff like the establishment of the colonial government, the economic development of the plantations and the establishment of colonial infrastructure and schools, the wars against native African peoples.

When searching for stuff about GEA it's dominated by WWI, which is fine, but I'm more curious about the pre war colony.

Do you have any book suggestions for Chinese history? Can be one or a series of books. Desirably, something on China before XX century.

Thank you!

Hello! Does anybody know of any good books about the Japanese bubble economy / post bubble world? Before and After Superflat by Aiden Favell was a wonderful art history of the time, and Reprogramming Japan was a good economics study on the lead up. Similar stuff would be great, especially historian-produced works!

I am looking for books which cover how proselytization worked during the Roman/Byzantine/Ottoman empires. Basically something which would help me attain a set of first principles to understand forced conversions to other religions in the modern world.

Two unrelated questions:
1: Is there a good biography of John B Stetson?

2: I've heard great things about Rick Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy, and it's on my "to-buy" list, but I was wondering if Ian Toll's Pacific War Trilogy is related at all? And regardless, is it worth also picking up?

Hi I'm looking for some medical malpractice histories and biographies. Particularly the growth or growth of curtailing litigation of medical malpractice cases. I would like to know more about American cases though if there is intersection with global laws that would be interesting.

I have read the diary of Henrietta Lacks. I am looking for a particular autobiography about an NYU doctor who was called "the butcher," I found it before but google seems to block all my current searches with chaff.
