The Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes was pretty interesting (colonization of Australia.)

Neal Stephenson did a wonderful historical fiction series called The Baroque Cycle. It's definitely fiction but there are accurate settings and timelines running in the background.

Read Bernard Cornwell's historical fiction. So far I like his Arthur books best.
