History of warfare: weapons, tactics, commanders - the whole lot. Doesn't matter if it's ww2 or the siege of Alesia.
Archeology, especially experimental archeology.
common historical misconceptions.
Almost anything really.

History is largely ,,propaganda written by the powers that be. Now OP, if you truly enjoy history, find yourself a copy of this book. "The Light and the Glory" There were many President's before George Washington for example. Even the word president has an interesting origin. Coming from the word ,to preside, like to preside until the true king comes.
Truth is what rocks my world and truth is actually a rare commodity.

The Celts during the Hallstatt and La Tène periods. This site not far from me https://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Glauberg has engaged my interest in that topic.

Though my favorite topic changes from time to time and I find almost all about history interesting.

I am fascinated by military history and in particular the Early Modern Period through WW2. In particular I am currently very interested in the "stories" of these times and little known events.

Every year my list expands and I suspect will continue to expand right up until I croak. My tendency has always been that once hooked on a particular topic, I want to read everything available about it. It began with the the American Civil War, continued with WW 1 aviation, the Pacific War, WW II aviation, siege warfare in the middle ages, the American Revolution, the Roman Republic and Empire, Biblical scholarship, the conquest of the American west, ...most recently my addictions have focused on the Napoleonic era and the age of fighting sail.

I love it all, the Vikings, the Masada Zealots, the history of baseball, the story of inventions...I shall perish long before I am able to exhaust what I wish to learn.

I try to read historians I like and that leads to others. In the last year or so, I've read a lot of books focused on the origins of the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers. Before that, I read quite a few books about the origins of the Civil War and Reconstruction.

All along, I have been reading about WWII US Navy history.

I was a history major as an undergraduate and got an MA, but moved on to environmental and resource economics to get an MS and Ph.D. I don't read economics for fun, just work.

I started out researching outlaws of the old west and that gradually took me to the gangsters and bank robbers of the 1920s-1930s. I especially like finding old newspaper articles about yegmen during the years 1900-1920, they are the hardest to find because very few became famous like the train robbers of the old west or the bank robbers like Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde. They preferred it that way. They used to make their own nitroglycerin, can you imagine messing around with that stuff in a dark room when you're sweating like a pig and you're heart pounding like a drum ? Nerves of steel is what they had.
