We are biding our time until volume 12 of The Walking Dead comes out, then it is a full on fight for first perusal.
You might like the Truman biography by David McCullough. It's a bigbook, but has a very detailed accounting of what was happening in th oval office as the Cold War started, plus a lot of stuff about the home front activities to try and stop war profiteering.
