I've been working my way through these off and on and find them to be very good general histories. I also like that there isn't as much bias as you tend to see these days.

I'm giving, below, the results of the entire search of all University of Chicago Press Kindle titles, sorted by price low to high. The ones featured above appear first; there are more worthwhile _free_ titles to follow. You'll have to ignore the "sponsored" returns; you might also wish to ignore the "Chicago Shorts" title's. You can hit some more pay dirt after doing that.
