Are there any good books which are both accurate and engaging which talk about human world history? (lemmy.ml)

Any era is welcome but I'm especially interested in modern history.

I know that having just one book which talks about the history of the whole world would be difficult but let's see if you guys know something (series are welcomed suggestions too).

I haven't read it yet but I've heard good things about The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow. It's more about early history than modern history, though.

You can buy it here or download it from libgen.
