  5. 'American Lady' offers a portrait of Susan Mary Alsop

    When Susan Mary Alsop died in August 2004 at the age of 86, her death marked the end of a legendary era in Washington social and political life. The wife of columnist Joseph Alsop, she had a front-row seat in the theater of 20th century power players, was a friend to presidents, moguls, artists, movie stars, intellectuals and European leaders, and bore intimate witness to the history of her day, recording it in sprightly, intelligent letters to her husbands, children and friends.

  6. It's summertime and the reading's easy

    As life seems to slow to a snail&rsquo;s pace during summer&rsquo;s languorous days, it&rsquo;s the perfect time to indulge in reading. Thrillers and spooky tales provide a particular chill on a torpid evening. Light and breezy reads are the perfect accompaniment for an afternoon beneath a beach umbrella. And should your tastes run a bit deeper, the longer days or half-day Fridays may just be the right time for a new political discussion or memoir.

  7. Steve Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson discusses the late, iconic Apple leader

    Few nonfiction writers think bigger than Walter Isaacson, who has taken on subjects like Henry Kissinger, Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. But when Apple founder Steve Jobs invited him in 2004 to write a complete and frank biography, Isaacson held back.

  8. Feedback: What is the best biography you have ever read?

    One of the best biographies I have ever read was "Another Man's War: The True Story of One Man's Battle to Save Children in the <a class="runtimeTopic" href="#">Sudan</a>,<strong>"</strong> by Sam Childers, aka the machine gun preacher. It painted the image of Childers fighting for orphans in Sudan, and also gave lots of background on his life before he started this mission. I highly recommend it.

  9. Book review: 'Jerusalem' by Simon Sebag Montefiore

    Simon Sebag Montefiore's epic survey of Jerusalem's sanguinary history does not inspire confidence in the civilizing qualities of religion. The pile of corpses accumulated over millenniums from the persecutions both perpetrated and endured by all three of the faiths &mdash; Christianity, Islam and Judaism &mdash; that have contended for Jerusalem would surely be high enough to reach the celestial home of any one of them. Not that politicians come off any better than believers here. Anyone frustrated by the intractable stalemate in the contemporary Middle East peace process may take grim comfort from the knowledge that Jerusalem has been a flash point for global warfare since the time of the Egyptian pharaohs: "the desire and prize of empires," as Montefiore puts it, "yet of no strategic value."
