I don&#x27;t mean to hijack this thread, but I too wasn&#x27;t interested in history at all until I read this book: The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money &amp; Power (   <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Prize-Epic-Quest-Money-Power&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1439110123" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Prize-Epic-Quest-Money-Power&#x2F;dp&#x2F;143911...</a>) Which was a fascinating history from the rise of oil in modern times uptil the first Gulf War. I would love recommendations on other history books that got people turned onto history?
