Not sure how into history people are, but I found this interesting:
The Black Jacobins by C. L. R. James.
It's a history of the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1804, which isn't something many people know about. It was written in the 1930s, so you can feel those issues in the background. It also challenges a lot of the common misconceptions around the anti-slavery movement in GB and France.
Mike Duncan's Revolutions Podcast is fantastic and will take you through the entire Haitian revolution as well as placing it within the global context. Highly recommend it.
I need to give that podcast another go. I tried to listen to the series about the French revolution whilst I was working but there's just so much detail! Found it a bit of a slog and ended up not paying much attention.
