I also can recommend good historical book. It's not about comics, but very close to comics. It's Crucible by Arthur Miller. The play is a fictionalized version of the trials and tells the story of a group of young Salem women who falsely accuse other villagers of witchcraft. The accusations and ensuing trials push the village into a hysteria that results in the arrest of two hundred villagers and the deaths of nineteen.
