The Museum of Abandoned Secrets

For those who need a bit of extra help navigating the historical context of the novel’s episodes from 1943 to 2004, and after reading The Museum would like to expand their knowledge, I am providing here a list of widely available books (not archival materials or government publications intended for very small expert audiences) that I have found helpful.
