__NOTOC___
Unlike other historical association, any historian in the United States can become a member of the AHA. Basically, every historical is represented in the AHA and it is the largest historical association in the United States. Therefore, the AHA awards a massive number of awards to historians. In 2016, the American Historical Association (AHA) awarded 24 book prizes.
While the list is large, it is a great place to find great new history books on a lot of different topics. The breadth of subject of the books on the AHA prizes is remarkable.
