Posted this thread some time ago and got some great responses and read most of those recommended...

Here goes again, recommend away as I need some new books to read (non-fiction preferable).

Some of my more recent favoutites:

First Victory 1914: HMAS Sydney's hunt for the german raider (brilliant read - excellent bit of Australian history)
Shadow Divers - Robert Kurson (couldn't put this one down)
The Secret Race - Tyler Hammilton/Daniel Coyle

Cheers for any good recommendations.
