- The Path to Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert Caro
- Silent Missions by Vernon Walters
- Churchill by Lord Moran

OK. You've listed Muggeridge in #1 slot for a reason. I'm on it. Thanks for the recommendation Michael.
David,
You are very perceptive.
Muggeridge's autobiography usually comes in two volumes. I think you'll enjoy it.

Thanks Michael. His book is out of stock on Amazon and had to order it used. I didn't see that there was 2 volumes. I'll need to go back and check. Thanks for the heads-up. Dave
David,
A one-volume version may be out there. I have Volume I: The Green Stick and Volume II: The Infernal Grove of Chronicles of Wasted Time.
Marvelous books.

I need to read Moran's biography of Churchill.
Kurt,
I really enjoyed it. The book was quite controversial. Aside from criticism that the doctor-patient relationship had been breached, some disputed Moran's descriptions of events.
Nonetheless, I highly recommend it.
Michael
