How long have you been doing this?

The idea first hatched about 2 months ago.

*almost 3 months now

Not an bad idea, make the idea better and read it in that language!

I can do that in Spanish, and that's what I'm doing for Spain. And I forgot to mention above that I already have a book on Cuba too. That one is in Spanish.
My Spanish is good enough to read Portuguese about 75% of the time, but not too academic stuff.

That's an interesting thing. Well go ahead and complete other countries too.

Thanks, anyone here from a country other than what I've mentioned, and can recommend a decent history book from your country?

Mein Kampf by Aldolf Hitler, (Germany)
The little red book by Mao Zedong (if you can get your hands on an copy, China)

Mein Kampf is the Autobiography of Hitler Kouya not the History of Germany.

It is an history book!

And you are already reading one about India. So I think I don't have anything to say.

But it's an Autobiography It says about Hitler's life not the History of Germany

I actually think that my local used book store has a copy of the little red book. I know they did a year or so ago, but I had no need for it then.

I already have one from Germany too. I wanted to get something written after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and this one is from 1997.

If you're interested in reading about war
Vietnam would be suitable
Our history honestly has much beside war and war and war
But I don't have any recommendation sadly
And personally I think it'd be best to read something that isn't by a Vietnamese as we are communist and the government bans any type bookeven bend the history if it gives them bad imagine

@rosalinas
I'm actually /very/ interested in the stuff that the government approves or pushes.
While I understand that a history from the outside might be more objective and tell the good with the bad, I'm more intrigued by what the local government and local (approved) historians are telling the people.
What do the Vietnamese think about the history of Vietnam, is more the question I hope to answer.

Depends
Like my father is always like ''US should have won and we wouldn't have to tolerate communists now'' and we are northern xD

That's interesting.
I may try to get in touch and ask you some questions after I've read a Vietnamese Vietnamese history

If you want to
I admit shamefully that I don't Mich about my own country history though
(I could ask my father but we don't talk anymore)
