Was at the bookstore today, and found a very cheap remainder copy of a book I've never even heard of: American Slavery, American Freedom: The Ordeal of Colonial Virginia, by Edmund S. Morgan. It won the Society of American Historians' Francis Parkman prize for historic writing when it was published in 1975.
It's basically a history of how slavery came to be in America, and how it came to an end. I like it because it starts with Francis Drake and the English attitude toward Spanish treatment of the natives in America; they considered themselves liberators, while at the same time giving much the same treatment to the Irish. What's fun for me is that its early chapters read almost like a sequel to Morison's European Discovery of America, which I've just finished.

I must have 30+ books on U-Boats and submarines, but I'm currently reading this, about the last surviving British soldier from the WW1 trenches. Quite a story, you can't not respect the man.
