Cool recommendations. I also cannot handle WII stories anymore. Enough! There’s 10 thousand years of history and hundreds of countries to cover.

Exactly! I don't know what explains that obsession except that we tell entirely too many stories about war in the first place and that, for Americans, it's a war we "won," whatever that means. But very ready to move on.
