Journalistic History

I read alot of history books written in a jourbalistic style, it often makes them far more interesting to read than you average history book.

Two I recommend:

The Offshore Islanders: A History of the English People by Paul Johnson.

London: The Biography by Peter Ackroyd.


Does anyone else have any suggestions of history books which are written in this way? With an obvious love of the subject themselves.
