I've got Audible credits to spend. Not:

1. Either World War
2. Napoleon
3. Vietnam War
4. The Mongol Empire
5. Human Pre-history
6. Ancient Middle East/Mediterranean/Egypt
7. The American Civil War
8. Pre-Columbian America.

As I've already studied them quite a bit recently.

That shit was fucked up.
Basically an early Vietnam.

You should focus on the one at the end of this sentence.

For real though, number 6.

The 1960's are absolutely fascinating, even putting aside Vietnam.

That aside, 1848.

Post-war Europe

No idea if it's on Audible, but "1989: The Year that Changed the World" by Michael Meyer is a pretty interesting look at the fall of the Berlin Wall

The year 1328.

Much like how I picked the year at random, if you want to be more specific you can pick a country (or other scale) at random via your preferred means of random country generation.

Yi Sun-sin and the Imjin War
Russo-Japanese War and the Battle of Tsushima
Nelson at Trafalgar

I know you said no World Wars, but I'm going to ignore that and also recommend Parshall and Tully's "Shattered Sword" about the Japanese Navy at Midway as one of the finest works of military history I've ever read.
