Slogging thru Caro’s LBJ tomes. Anything by Antonia Fraser. Ditto for the Malcom X book by Alex Haley My apologies if I’ve made some mistakes: song lyrics, authors and titles are beyond my retained memory. ---

[Leap of Faith : Memoirs of an Unexpected Life](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786867175/qid=1100744736/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/104-1416843-3490353) by Queen Noor, the widow of Jordan’s King Hussein. A youg, Christian, American girl that ends up being the 4th wife of King Hussein. Fascinating story, and gives an excellent perspective into what was happening in the Middle East during that time. Highly recommended. ---
