Ok so I watched this video and it actually did a really good job at explicating the context of the crusades in ways that a lot of school history readings didn't for me. And it got me wondering: does anybody here know any good books or book series on European history that don't use objectivity as a facade for bashing Western culture; but rather that actually go objectively through the history in a comprehensive way? I'm thinking something similar to Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy but with European history. Fairly detailed, objective, etc. Thanks in advance!
