Early Modern History From Five Books

Five Books is a website that asks experts for their top five books on a particular topic. This list is made of all the recommendations dealing with Early Modern History (16th-18th centuries). It is not a comprehensive list of books, as some of the topics are very specific (eg. Oliver Cromwell), and the books listed differ in genre: primary sources, academic histories, historical fiction. But it is still a very interesting list.
