Random World History Rant (Warning: contains sweeping generalizations)
-Why is it so difficult to find books on world history that aren't about how it ties to the U.S? Example, no books about the Caliphate period of the Middle East on Audible, out of 50+ books in the history section Audible.com with the Middle East as a keyword, maybe 4 offered actual histories of the Middle East rather than the history of US involvement there (less than 1/1000 of their history). Similar story for Japanese, Russian, and Chinese history. How can we have so little general access of their histories when we are or have been at war with these people and/or have them as major trade partners?! What is it with America and not understanding anything about the rest of the world except the narrow scope of how it relates to us?!?!....../end late-night rant that was too long for a facebook status message.
