Can someone suggest a good book to read?

35. Several come to mind.

But since you've limited it to Non Fiction, I'll stick to that.

A man on the moon by Andrew Chaikin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Man_on_the_Moon

A brilliant if long look at the space program and the challenges that were met by the astronauts and engineers who put us on the moon. One of the most complete single books on this subject that I have ever read.

For a good, if brief overview of submarine espionage a good place to start to give you an idea of what we're up to with many other technologies go with Blind Mans Bluff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Man%27s_Bluff:_The_Untold_Story_of_American_Submarine_Espionage

Many of our current geopolitical problems actually go back to the end of the First World War, as hard as that is to believe. But for that you need to read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peacemakers:_The_Paris_Peace_Conference_of_1919_and_Its_Attempt_to_End_War

It gives you a good history of how we got started on the path to here.

If you've ever wondered how that war got started, then there is one exceptional book that was according to legend actually read and recommended by JFK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_of_august

There are so many excellent books, both fiction and non fiction. I've always been partial to the Nero Wolfe series of mysteries in the fictional mystery genre.

I tend to read books from many different subjects. Science, war, political theory, history, and social issues. It would be hard to recommend a book if your interests don't run similar to my own.

I read one book called Brilliant Blunders, five brilliant people and the mistakes they made. It was tough to read at times, the author was a little too long winded, but it was generally speaking, interesting. The point was obvious. No matter how smart you are, you can and will make a mistake eventually.
