Why Chosen
This was the first history book which showed me that histories can be written about ideas and 'losers' or 'failures' in history, rather than just about countries, geographical areas, wars, and winners. It was a very profound change in how I thought about history at the end of my school years, and helped me choose to do it as a university degree.
