Just read The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright, a very well researched book on the beginnings of modern terrorism, up until 9/11 and its immediate aftermath. Which segues very nicely into... Days of Fire by Peter Baker, a summary of the George W Bush administration. Also on deck is Nixonland, Before the Storm, and The Invisible Bridge, three books by Rick Perlstein ostensibly about the 1964, 1968-72, and 1980 elections, but mostly about the moods and culture of the American people at those times. Lawrence Wright also recently published a book about scientology called 'Going Clear' which was turned into a documentary and shown at Sundance. The book (and movie) is supposed to be great.
