A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W. Tuchman

Incredibly insightful and wildly interesting personal history of the Middle Ages. Tuchman does an effective job building a world that seems foreign to the modern reader. Although it takes a while to build Enguerrand’s story, it becomes compelling to see this lifetime of adventure and misadventure guided by forces much larger than the self.
