David Halberstam's The Coldest Winter
Rick Atkinson's Day of Battle
Stephen W. Sears's Gettysburg
James M. McPherson's Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief
President Grant's Personal Memoirs
Jon Meacham's American Lion
Jacobo Timerman's Prisoner Without a Name, Cell Without a Number
Andrew Roberts’s History of the English Speaking Peoples Since 1900
Nathaniel Philbrick’s Mayflower
Albert Camus’s The Stranger
