I was unable to finish my history minor before graduating with a BA in costume design this last May. I took history to aid in my costume design (knowing the history of clothing is a must) because knowing what was happening in the world at that time was usually tightly tied to what people wore.
However, I still have the history bug and would like to continue my education on my own. Mainly, I'm interested in war time history (anywhere and any time). Does anyone have some good suggestions?
