Hi, I’m looking for some book recommendations at the moment. Specifically, I’m looking for non-fiction books which look at misconceptions about the past, and inform the reader about what things were actually like. For example, I’ve been looking into books that center around what samurai were actually like, as opposed to all the stories and myths we have about them. At the moment I’m not interested in any particular time period, and am interested in almost anything that fits my criteria.

You might want to check out The Bright Ages. It's about misconceptions about the Middle Ages/Dark Ages. The authors did an AMA when the book came out. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/rko03c/ama_with_dr_matthew_gabriele_and_dr_david_perry/
