If you want to know what actually happened on 9/11, here it is. Non-partisan and well written, unless it's leaving stuff out. Which it probably is.- H G Wells: Outline of History
A completely readable history of humanity, if not an entirely up to date one, with an eye towards a global civilization. Getting to Yes
