History is Not Boring discussion

Hi, I have seen this game in another group and I thought we might be able to do it in this group but with a historical twist.

In this game you must set a requirement about a book and someone else has to meet it and then set a new requirement. The same book can not be used more than once.

Eg,

Name a historical book with more than thirty editions on Goodreads.

Name a historical book with between 100 and 200 pages.

Autobiography of Mother Jones

Name a memoir or autobiography written by an outlier U.S. presidential candidate--not one of the main parties. Remember, since this is history, it must be a candidate that ran 50 years ago or more.

Sorry, just giving this game a bump! :)

Name a historical book that had an impact on American society.

AT Mahan, the influence of sea power on history 1660 - 1783.

Scholars considered it the single most influential book in naval strategy. Its policies were quickly adopted by most major navies, ultimately leading to the World War I naval arms race. It is also cited as one of the contributing factors of the United States becoming a great power.

Name a historical book by a king or queen of England.

The Defence of the Seven Sacraments (in Latin: Assertio Septem Sacramentorum) is a theological treatise published in 1521, written by King Henry VIII of England, allegedly with the assistance of Thomas More. The extent of More's involvement with this project has been a point of contention since its publication[1][2].

Henry started to write it in 1519 while he was reading Martin Luther's attack on indulgences[3]. By June of that year, he had shown it to Thomas Wolsey, but it remained private until three years later, when the earlier manuscript became the first two chapters of the Assertio, the rest consisting of new material relating to Luther's De Captivitate Babylonica.

Author J. J. Scarisbrick describes the work as "one of the most successful pieces of Catholic polemics produced by the first generation of anti-Protestant writers."[4] It went through some twenty editions in the sixteenth century and, as early as 1522, had appeared in two different German translations.

It was dedicated to Pope Leo X, who rewarded Henry with the title Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith) in October 1521 (a title revoked following the king's break with the Catholic Church in the 1530s[5], but re-awarded to his heir by the English Parliament).

Isaac wrote: "Name a historical book by a king or queen of England."Isaac much further back than Henry VIII, Alfred the Great wrote a translation of Gregory the Great's Pastoral Care as well as law codes. He encouraged the learning from Latin to Anglo Saxon English. Although king of Wessex, Alfred laid the foundations of what became England.
