I agree. A friend of mine was one of the Indian extras, and got to "fight" in all of the battles.

Autobiographies

Truth Stranger than Fiction: Father Henson's Story of his Own Life by Josiah Henson - It was written around the year 1860, but it's interesting nonetheless. It's another slave narrative along the lines of Frederick Douglass'. This book is out of print.

Gandhi by Mohandas Gandhi (obviously)

Movie books

Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut - The movie was one of the worst things I've ever seen, but the book is a personal favorite. And if you get tired of reading it (but you shouldn't), there are lots of pretty pictures to look at in it.

The Last Temptation of Christ by Nikos Kazantzakis - I just got finished reading this a couple of days ago, and I loved it. The message it carries got through even to my hardened atheistic mind.

Another movie book - Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. LeGuin.

The movie isn't well known (I just heard about it the other day), but apparantly it was a PBS picture that was made 20-odd years ago got into a 20 year-old legal battle over using a Beatles song (all Micheal Jackson's fault of course). It's about a man whose dreams become reality. Excellent book from one of my favorite authors.

My favorite by Chrichton was Airframe. I think. It's been quite a while.

Try Dan Brown's Angels & Demons -- now THERE'S a hell of a lot of research.
