I'm not a massive book reader tbh, but one i always recommend and have recently returned to after a few years for the updated version is "Prisoners of Geography"by Tim Marshall.
A great view on international geo politics, the history behind them and which way it is going in the future.
I know it sounds full on but its actually a quite readable book and massively informative. I first read it before Covid and since then many of the major events around the world (Russia/ Ukraine, Israel / Iran, China/ Taiwan etc etc) have played out in the way you would have expected

I love a good spy book. Facts not fiction for me.
One of the best I’ve read. Nine Lives: My Time As MI6's Top Spy Inside al-Qaeda

Read a couple lately, presently half way through reading Guy Martins All the medals have been handed out.
Before that it was the Diary of Sonny Ormrod DFC, the short life of a Maltese Hurricane pilot...he had some spirit!
Edit, finished Guys book, a nice easy read, humorous too 😎
29/09 now reading Down To Earth, the story of Squadron Leader Kenneth McGlashan

I read a lot for my job. Some lighter hearted personal development books, all super cheap second hand

Just finished Spitfire On My Tail, Me109 Ace, Ulrich Steinhilpher
The book isn't what you'd expect, mostly background life, very little about air time. Quite fancy reading his other books, Ten Minutes to Buffalo and Full circle, sounds like the German version of The Great Escape!

A must read for WW2 Aviation enthusiasts, I Fought you from the Skies by Willi Heilmann.
My god, warts and all, none stop, how he survived, def in my top 10 books.
02/11 Just finished Duel Under The Stars, Wilhelm Johnen
Autobiography of a German night fighter ace, another great read!
