the looming tower by Lawrence wright.

Amazing book,a must read for those who wanted to know about origins of terror groups.Times magazine shelved it in the best 100 books of all time in nonfiction.

A searing view of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. a view that is at once wrenchingly intimate and boldly sweeping in its historical perspective ... A narrative history that possesses all the immediacy and emotional power of a novel, an account that indelibly illustrates how the political and the personal, the public and the private were often inextricably intertwined

Great thread, Kudos!

Being a keen follower of politics and current affairs, I'd recommend three books, they'll enhance your knowledge, expand your horizons and broaden your outlook on life.

Art of War
The Prince - Nicolo Machiavelli
Why Nations Fail - Daron Acemoglu

Try to get your hands on these books and I am sure you'll emerge as a new person after reading them.

P.S. These books are highly recommended for CSS Aspirants as well.
