Biographies about individuals who are more similar to the average person in incredible events like a American Red Cross nurse, add a lot to the historical record and understanding for the average player of these events.  I think it is important to not only read the accounts of those who held incredible power such as politicians or accounts of troop movements but also stories of people who did the most with the cards they were dealt.

I found the organization of the book annoying.It jumped around in time from present to past multiple times in a chapter.
