I don't know about you guys, but some of the best reading, to me, is in this genre. Most of my favorite books are this type. Here's a few of my favorites, in that order.

1 & 2.) a set, and my two favorite books ever, probably.
"Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" by Herman Wouk.

I would recommend those two to anyone, even if you don't care about history.

3. "Aztec" by Gary Jennings. he has a couple of them on this genre, and Aztec itself has a couple of pretty good sequels.

4. "The Journeyer" also by Gary Jennings. The story of Marco Polo.

5. "Gettysburg" by Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen

Maybe you guys can tell me about some other historical fiction out there, I'd love to expand my library.
