Looking for a little help from all you Litsyans. I never studied history but very much enjoy reading it. I am requesting any history nonfiction title recommendations that you have enjoyed. Thanks!
TheBookAddict The only title that comes to mind at the moment is Born A Crime by Trevor Noah. It isn't specifically a historical nonfiction book, but it is nonfiction and in it Noah tells us about his life in South Africa during the time of apartheid and after the apartheid was abolished. It's more of a personal account of what happened in his life because of that time. Sorry, it's as close as I can get. I loved the story and the audiobook is amazing. 😊![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
