    I am preparing a list for my children and grandchildren of the _____ (to be filled in) non-fiction books everyone should read. To date, I have only four, all of which I have read. In alphabetical order by author: Charles Darwin, "On the Origin of Species by Natuarla Selectin." Noccolo Machiavelli, "The Prince." Sun-Tzu, "The Art of War." H. G. Wells, "The Outline of History (1939 edition). For the record, I am a 70+ year old retired attorney, who has always been a voarcious reader. Criticism and suggestions are welcome.

    My daughter's suggestion ^ | 9/17/15 | A devoted mom
    My daughter has asked me to ask you all to recommend books on foreign affairs for her college course on International relations. My understanding is they must be non-fiction and pertain to the US relations with other nations, but other than that the field is wide open. They can be about any time in our history, any country, wide ranging or very specific and, of course, excellent writing always preferred. Thanks in advance to all who care to respond!
