68) China’s Cosmopolitan Empire: The Tang Dynasty by Mark Edward Lewis The Tang Dynasty is often touted as the high point in Chinese culture and the golden age of its imperial history so much so that despite being Han ethnically the term most used is Tang Person/People to describe people of Chinese descent. In saying that though, I was hoping for a much more thorough history than what was delivered.

69) Nimitz by E.B. Potter this is as the definitive biography of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz Fleet Admiral and Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet in WWII. While certainly filled with his wartime service record given that the conflict formed a large part of his life, I was expecting a lot more personal stories about his life than just a detailed run down of his WWII record.

70) How Democracy Ends by David Runciman though short this is an analysis into the end of democracy as how we’ve always perceived it. In saying that though given the current political climate we are in it is hard to share the optimism he has about where we go from here.
