It‘s not a book, but Bret Deveraux‘ history blog is so comprehensive I‘ve probably read several books‘ worth of pages on it: https://acoup.blog/ https://acoup.blog/ Also, it pointed me to a number of the „real“ books I read this year. Aside from that, the book that I enjoyed the most was probably Chernow‘s „Washington“.
