OK.  War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy now.\n\nChapter I\n"Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war, if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by that Antichrist- I really believe he is Antichrist- I will have nothing more to do with you and you are no longer my friend, no longer my 'faithful slave,' as you call yourself! But how do you do? I see I have frightened you- sit down and tell me all the news."\n\nIt was in July, 1805, and the speaker was the well-known Anna Pavlovna Scherer, maid of honor and favorite of the Empress Marya Fedorovna. With these words she greeted Prince Vasili Kuragin, a man of high rank and importance, who was the first to arrive at her reception. Anna Pavlovna had had a cough for some days. She was, as she said, suffering from la grippe; grippe being then a new word in St. Petersburg, used only by the elite.\n\nAll her invitations without exception, written in French, and delivered by a scarlet-liveried footman that morning, ran as follows:\n\n"If you have nothing better to do, Count [or Prince], and if the prospect of spending an evening with a poor invalid is not too terrible, I shall be very charmed to see you tonight between 7 and 10- Annette Scherer."\n\n"Heavens! what a virulent attack!" replied the prince, not in the least disconcerted by this reception. He had just entered, wearing an embroidered court uniform, knee breeches, and shoes, and had stars on his breast and a serene expression on his flat face. He spoke in that refined French in which our grandfathers not only spoke but thought, and with the gentle, patronizing intonation natural to a man of importance who had grown old in society and at court. He went up to Anna Pavlovna, kissed her hand, presenting to her his bald, scented, and shining head, and complacently seated himself on the sofa.\n\n"First of all, dear friend, tell me how you are. Set your friend's mind at rest," said he without altering his tone, beneath the politeness and affected sympathy of which indifference and even irony could be discerned.\n\nI'm tired is it ok if i just give you the link to the book.\nEnjoy.\n\nYes, sports for sure,  ahahahahaha.

I'd start with Will Durant's book "The Story of Philosophy", it is fantastic.  He goes through history describing all the major philosophers\n\nAristotle, Plato, for the classic philosophers, are a good start

All I could find is that there was a book written by Charles Austin Beard called The Devil theory of War; an inquiry into the nature of history and the possibility of keeping out of war.\n\n**During the great depression, devils led us to war aided by bankers and arms manufacturers on cost contracts

The book "the prince" which explored a new realism of absolute power and how benign  (or not) a ruler whould be. Some great quotes in there! The ends do justify the means!

One I enjoyed reading was "Foxes Book of Martyrs." It's a history of people who were martyred for the faith.  It provides some historical context, but most of all it tells personal stories of people who had deep convictions about what it means to be a Christian.

if you are talking about the Italian Renaissance, then it was because of the humanist ideas, which differed greatly from those of the middle ages (or dark ages because of little cultural progress).  the humanists had new ways of thought, such reformation included new behaviorial guidelines, such as the Prince by Machiavelli.

William Shakespeare authored Romeo and Juliet and it was one of his most famous plays alongwith Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer's Night Dream etc. It was extensively potrayed during his time.
