Ambrose's story of the building of the transcontinental railroad. He was a good writer and for those who don't like history (that wouldn't be me) he can make it more palatable.

I think I'm still reading his book about D-Day. I try to read books in the order that they are written. For one thing, a writing style gets honed throughout a career. I'm not sure that holds up quite as much for historians as for novelists, but I am trying to stick with it anyway.
