A few days ago, I decided to read a history book just for the purpose of learning English. I thought it would be an interesting read and I might as well learn something about history, which is certainly not my strength. I started reading "The Decisive Battles of World History" by Gregory S. Aldrete. It covers decisive battles in the span ranging from the second millennium B.C. to the present.

I'm also thinking of buying a book, but I haven't yet decided which one. Besides, I can download most of them from the internet for free, so it's hard to choose. I'm not sure about the genre either. I could buy a technical book in my specialization or a totally different genre such as history or universe.

It covers decisive battles in the span ranging from the second millennium B.C. to the present.

"in the span ranging from" is fine, but thought I would get a shorter/more concise alternative.

Is "universe" a genre? If so, then ignore my correction. I think you might mean outer space / future themed books, which is called "sci-fi" or "science fantasy."
