Arthur Abraham v. Raul Marquez - Let's talk here!!! pics. & vids.!!

[CFH]

I enjoy Ancient History. I prefer narrative works more than text heavy stuff though.

My favourite books on the subject are Persian Fire and Rubicon both by Tom Holland. He writes like a narrative and its gripping stuff.

I also loved Heroditus 'Histories' and Thucydides 'History of the Peloponnesian War' was a lot more interesting than its reputation.

Always nice when we can turn a talk about a boxer into a history lesson

Indeed, want to debunk the myth of ww2 as a war where 'good' democracies fought 'evil' facism, and discuss how the allies were initially in collusion with Hitler?

ha I don't know anything about that but it sounds like the kind of extreme conspiracy type theory that I'd definitely subscribe to

I only know a fairly small amount about it so far, but it's intriguing, plausible, and supported by at least some facts. I'm buying a book that is somewhat related to the subject tomorrow, I'll let you know the title then b/c I can't remember right now.
