Thank you for the recommendations! I recently got into the genre of Central Asian History with Peter Hopkirk's books. I look forward to continuing learning about this fascinating part of the world with some of these books! I also hope to travel to Uzbekistan this year and see some of these sites in person
Fantastic list. One or two of these are definitely going into my to-read list for this year (I thoroughly enjoyed Beckwith's book on Tibet - read on your recommendation - so I'm excited to engage with his broader treatment of the steppe). You're one of the leading Substack historians and I look forwards to another year of your poasting
Great list, Man and Technics really is a great primer for reading Jacques Ellul. Also, the new edition of The Hour of Decision with the forward by John David Ebert is great,

Very neat, look forward to checking some of these out. And thank you for the qualified defense of Fukuyama. Everyone gets him wrong!
