She Came to Slay: The Life and Times of Harriet Tubman

The Bomber Mafia
by Malcolm Gladwell - I highly recommend the audiobook for the archive recordings, but either way, you'll learn about the development of the Air Force, bombsights, the technology, and the personnel that made long-range bombing raids possible and brought about the end of WWII.
Unequal: A Story of America
by Michael Eric Dyson and Marc Favreau - "presents a gripping account of the struggles that shaped America..., and demonstrates how inequality persists."
Fallout: Spies, Superbombs, and the Ultimate Cold War Showdown
by Steve Sheinkin - from the discovery of a hollow nickel to Bay of Pigs to the building of the Berlin Wall, the Cold War heats up. Sheinkin is a master at bringing history to life for both teens and adults. If you enjoy history, I highly recommend.
Letters to a Young Athlete
by Chris Bosh - exactly what the name implies, Bosh shares his experiences that helped mold him into an NBA Hall of Famer, but he provides numerous examples of other athletes, men and women, stars in a variety of sports. This book is excellent for athletes and coaches.
Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law
by Haben Girma - the memoir of a Deafblind woman who came to the US as a refugee and now serves as an advocate for individuals with disabilities. This is a powerful story.
