Vienna, 1814: How the Conquerors of Napoleon Made… by David King

Vienna 1814 by David King. Seems to me that just a few history books are so driven by passion, so well-researched and -written, that they open a wide window into adjacent eras, other realms, and provoke lively thoughts about history itself. This is one of them. Not the EASIEST read, but well-worth-the-concentration.

Death in the City of Light: The Serial Killer of… by David King

I normally don't read true-crime books, but this one held an historical interest. A serial murderer during the war? How twisted! The book delves into quite a bit of detail and the French justice system (as it were in the 40s) was rather unusual from an American perspective.
