The Old Guy's Retirement Reading List--History

A rather exhaustive list the history I have read since retiring. I try to alternate between history and fiction and will soon attempt to assemble a list of fiction that my retirement has allowed me to complete. The history list obviously illustrates those areas of history that fascinate me and hopefully you will find it interesting.
