"Popular" among public is not the same thing academic seeks. Afaik, there are not that many historical books in small sub-specializations historians typically work coming out all the time.

Historians publish their history in books, even the history targeted at other historians.

I mean 'popular' for an academic book, i.e., widely read by other academics.
I can assure you that historians prioritise monographs over journal articles in the UK and US, and it's there that you'll generally find their best work.
