History Book Reccomendations

[atomstryker]

I have to take a World History class this year and have to do a book report on a Historical figure. Anybody know of any interesting books about any person pertaining to history from 1200 to 1990?

TIA

Anyone

American citizen or not, just should have had something to do with worldwide events.

How about FDR's spy games during WW2? Try FDR's Secret War, can't remember the author atm.

Churchill's memoirs are some nice light reading.

If you're not up for that, how about Fourty Ways to Look at Winston Churchill? Only 320 pages, much more moderate.
