Eric J. Hobsbawm

The Age of Revolution 1789-1848

Eric Hobsbawm draws a comprehensive picture of dual revolutions and the world state at the time. Book is packed with information, fun to read and very simple.

I recommend this to all high school/college students. Particularly valuable if you are from/living in countries like Turkey with poor history writing as history is not all about wars, conquest and glory.

 gives examples of why these are not the only(if not the least) important factors in history.
