Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle
Soul of a People: The WPA Writers' Project Uncovers Depression America
Jacksonland: President Andrew Jackson, Cherokee Chief John Ross, and a Great American Land Grab

And I'll give huge, strong, highly motivating second to
Soul of a People: The WPA Writers' Project Uncovers Depression America. I'd really like to read this, it sounds seriously interesting.
And I'll third
Lawrence. An interesting character, and I've heard good things about this book. I'm not as excited by this one as
Soul of a People, but it should be interesting.
