I have a book review due for American History, any suggestions for a good book to read?
The time frame is from prehistory-1873, I really don’t like history so I am stuck on trying to find a book I might be interested in. I don’t really care what it is about I just have to get this book review done. Also this is college history not high school. Thanks to anyone who answers this for me.
Ernest K. Gahn -"The Antagonists"
Robert Graves "I, Claudius"
Norman Mailer "Ancient Evenings"
Henryk Sienkiewicz "Quo Vadis"
Gore Vidal "Julian"
C.S. Forrester - The Hornblower series, any and all
William Styron "The Confessions of Nat Turner"
Shelby Foote "Shiloh"
To name a few that I enjoyed.

Can’t help you with the prehistory thing.
And this should be read by everyone:
