My eyes glaze over whenever the history book starts describing battles for more than a paragraph.
I despise history books that describe battles or military formations or events without any maps. Like, what is the point? How I supposed to know where the fuck Blenkizewski is and why it’s treacherous when the Red Army crossed into it from Zepvonsk???
Also, biographies that take place in some battle also kinda bore me. Like bro, you’re talking about PTSD and shell shock and pure desperation, and I’m supposed to feel all that through text? Just draw a comic book. It’s supposed to be traumatizing.

Skill issue. Clock 500 more hours in HOI4.
I like dry ass books about Eastern Front battles. Started off in my teens reading pop history schlock about WWII and slid downhill to present day where I’m slogging my way through Volume 1 (of 4? 5?) Of Glantz’s series on Stalingrad. Gimme all the dry operational details with a 100 page appendix full of citations, I love that shit.
No idea why I enjoy that shit tbh. Nerd and a masochist probably.
