The fact that this book was written by a racist and a segregationist simply means that even someone who is a bad apple can sometimes write good books. It helps that his book here was primarily about Europeans, possibly. Worth noting that The Inquiry suggested that Ukraine should have Crimea so...

Not a book, but I enjoyed reading this 1917 article called The Future of Bohemia: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Czechoslovak_Review/Volume_1/The_Future_Status_of_Bohemia I also liked reading some old geopolitical articles from The Atlantic: https://archive.ph/0gTJM...

I found this book about strategy to be pretty interesting: https://www.allworldwars.com/Principles%20of%20Strategy%20by%20%20William%20K%20Naylor.html It was apparently written right after the end of World War I and contains numerous examples of specific cases of good and bad strategy in its...
