Kenneth C. Davis is kind of the James Burke of American history, tackling subjects from perspectives that differ from the traditional ones and looking for insights that are normally overlooked by the history books. His series "Don't Know Much About History" has been widely well-received.

 

This book should be seen as lighter fare, but it's entertaining and informative at the same time. Particularly unique and interesting insights are provided on the lives of such figures as Benedict Arnold, Queen Isabella of Spain, and George Washington.

 

Worth a look!
