I just completed reading all of the Bernard Cornwell’s novels of England, finished reading ‘East of Eden by John Steinbeck and now I have ‘Sarum, the Novel of England’ by Edward Rutherfurd in front of me, ready to read when I have the time.
I would also highly recommend reading all of the novels by F van Wyck Mason, who wrote historical novels of early America during the Revolution. You may have trouble finding his books in the Public Library but Amazon.com has them. His novels would be considered ‘politically incorrect’ today. He was a retired military officer that seems to be biased towards ‘Making America Great Again’.
