Who Should I Do My Autobiography/Biography Essay On?
I'm stuck...I can't figure out who's bio/autobio to do my essay on! It has to be a 350+ page bio/autobio on any historical or current person. Suggestions please!!!

13. Be sure to read the Globe version if you want his senate career too
Tour of Duty is mostly about Vietnam.

14. Yeah I actually read Tour of Duty
a while back when I read of it in the LA Times. Very good book and I enjoyed it a lot, and this is coming from someone who was not very interested in war.

21. I've learned to love them...my favorites
are the Jeff and Michael Shaara books on the Civil War. I love that period of time in our history :-)

22. You know I read more WWII but the Shaara family books became
good movies, I really enjoyed Gettysburg and to a lesser extent Gods and Generals. Jeff Sharra wrote a book on the revolution I believe called the Glorious Cause.

17. Is there a bio on Wellstone? Could "Conscience of a Liberal" count?
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 05:42 PM by AlFrankenFan
Hmmm...where's my hardcover... . . . . ...ah ok. Hardcover and paperback 216 pages. Dang. Not even close to 350 :-( Edit: I even checked "Professor Wellstone Goes to Washington"...barely 300. Damn requirements!! *shakes fist*

Varian Fry Both incredible stories. I also recommend "Light One Candle" by Solly Ganor (incredible story of survival in the Holocaust)

From being here you already know the subject and have a wonderful resource for more. Of course you'd have to be truthful and that may force you to avoid solo walks in the woods and small aircraft.
