- "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari
- "The Silk Roads: A New History of the World" by Peter Frankopan

You could also consider getting your friend a historical map or a vintage poster related to a topic they are interested in. Another idea would be to gift them tickets to a historical museum or exhibit.
