re: Looking for a book to read - nonfiction

Late historian William Manchester's autobiography "Goodbye,darkness" weighted towards his USMC experience in WWII. Brutal in places. Particularly when he describes the first man he killed and poignant in others. His first paragraphs describe flying to the Pacific theater on a cathartic journey to exorcise his 40 year old demons and watching the sunset from his flight change shades and hue reflecting in his Scotch. Hinting at his troubles with alcohol and PTSD he writes that he is reminded, not for the first time, that real troubles can swim.

G. Gordon Liddy's autobiography "Will". Former FBI agent and Nixon operative who kept his mouth shut and did his time without whining.
Worth the read for the recounting of his son's wearing under their swim meet togs T-shirts which declared Watergate Bugging Team.
