The list of books on world history covers a wide range of topics and time periods, including biographies of powerful women like Catherine the Great, exploration expeditions like Ernest Shackleton's journey to Antarctica, and accounts of major historical events such as the Rwandan genocide. Many books also focus on lesser-known stories or perspectives, such as the role of quilts in guiding enslaved people to freedom or the experiences of Black Elk, a holy man of the Oglala Sioux tribe. Additionally, there are several comprehensive histories that cover everything from prehistoric times to modern-day events.
