User:Donner60/General and Miscellaneous History Library

This page includes books in my personal library on miscellaneous, mainly United States, history topics and various general history and biography books or series of books, including surveys or overviews of time periods. See also User:Donner60/Ancient, Medieval and Miscellaneous History Library for those categories. The Miscellaneous History on that page is mainly European history. A few books do not, or do not entirely, include military history. This list is still incomplete as of the last additions.
