Manchester--A Master Story Teller of History
Outstanding narrative history of the United States from Roosevelt's first inaugural to Nixon's second. Manchester is a master story teller and reading his works is like reading an outstandingly well written novel. I would highly recommend this book as well as his definitive Churchill biography, three volumes, or any of his lesser know works like "Goodbye Darkness" or "A World Lit only by Fire", the first a personal account of his experiences as a soldier in the Pacific Theater during WWII and the second, a history of the world at the time of Magellan.
