Here is a link to some great non-fiction books you might enjoy. There are some great 'book trailers' (like movie trailers!) that link out to YouTube and really tell you about each book. My suggestions? Bootleg: Murder, Moonshine and the Lawless Years of Prohibition. an awesome book about the years in this country when drinking alcohol was illegal. Bomb: The Race to Build--and Steal--the World's Most Dangerous Weapon by Steven Sheinkin tells of the production of the Atom Bomb, and the theft of the technology by the Soviet Union. Check out this booklist/trailers for other awesome titles!
