I'll third The Killer Angels, a very good book I read a long time ago.
I'm still thinking, although I realize time is passing! My initial criteria included earlier than the 20th century, outside the Anglophone zone, and either a memoir or a novel for sheer readability. It looks as if I'm not going to achieve that, though, and I'll probably just try to hit one point and emphasize something that I hope would lead to a good discussion (insofar as one can identify that).
