Personally I loved reading "The Peasant War in Germany" by Frederick Engels, because 1) it is a complete work which explores its topic thoroughly, 2) it presents a coherent argument that actually persuaded me with evidence, and 3) of all the books on the subject, Engels' was actually the best and most helpful for understanding things. Really busts the myth that "religions cause wars" by exploring how religion is mostly just an excuse people use for underlying economic reasons that really drive their behaviors.
