Henry Kissinger, White House Years
Liked it a lot. He's a great writer in his own way, and segments his high analysis neatly. What depressed me was how much of the volume is consumed by his Vietnam negotiations.

Richard Nixon, RN: The Memoirs of Richard Nixon
Like most presidential memoirs (eg Clinton), the book is fabulous until he becomes president, and then it gets unduly boring.

George F. Kennan, Memoirs, 1925-1950
Carefully written and well presented, much like the man.

Dean Acheson, Present at the Creation: My Years in the State Department
Like Nixon's, best prior to his top position as SECSTATE. Best part is his amazingly mischievous sense of humor. He has numerous laugh-out-loud bits.

Daniel Walker Howe, What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848
One of the best American period histories I've ever read. Balances the organizational with the narrative and the macro analytical with the micro historical detail. I took the better parts of two days to read, I found it that good.

Four to go. Then on to the last three years of the blog, which is a couple thousand pages.
