Since I canâ€t exactly pop into a bookstore (with English titles other than something about the Kardashianâ€s) I was wondering what online sites might any of you recommend to read military history? While I prefer US military history, to be honest Iâ€m open to about anything, be it Assyrian or Gallic or whatever. As you may have gathered it could be any timeframe.

Among others, Cincy and Stx are usually good sources on topics like this. Seems Cincy disappeared again though.

Any Civil War site that is presented from the South's perspective.

Not sure your access to YouTube, but you can watch on any topic there.

We can definitely discount any "historian" who claims the war was just about slavery.

In order to obtain the most accurate information, search out authors out of Academia that are as Caucasian as they are gender non-binary.

China-can you download books from Amazon over there? If so I would recommend Retribution. It is about the Pacific conflict and the use of A bombs to end the war. A fasc inating read with great perspective.

Lol. Slavery was the not the only cause. But if you look at the social and economic arguments, slavery was by and far the primary cause of secession. The lost cause rewrite of history by the DOC is a perspective for sure, but easily defeated.
But to stay on topic, history.army.mil has a great collection of artifacts, essays and papers.
