I would add When Hell Was In Session by Rear Admiral Jeremiah Denton to that list, for a superb perspective on the Vietnam War from a former POW who later pursued a career in politics long before John McCain made it "fashionable."

I'm reading "Theodore Rex" by Edmund Morris, right now.
It's his second book on Teddy, this time focusing on his years in the White House. A great lesson about the man and early 20th century US history.
