I'm concentrating mostly on two books, Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts, and In the First Circle by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
The Napoleon biography is quite good, detailed but not dry (to me, anyway).
The other book, so far, is disappointing me. The book starts off with a Soviet national trying to make contact with Western officials about nuclear secrets. Now I'm getting bogged down with descriptions of a bunch of prisoners who work in a secret acoustical lab who chat and chat and chat.
