Are there any good books which are both accurate and engaging which talk about human world history? (lemmy.ml)

Any era is welcome but I'm especially interested in modern history.

I know that having just one book which talks about the history of the whole world would be difficult but let's see if you guys know something (series are welcomed suggestions too).

I suppose if you try and distil any history down into a single unified theory it's gonna have caveats. Yes, the world is infinitely more complex than the simplistic version he creates, but I think the broad strokes are there. If nothing else it's a jumping off point to get people interested in the evolution of civilisations and will hopefully encourage people to follow up with their own research.
