The Boys in the Boat (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16158542-the-boys-in-the-boat?from_search=true) by Daniel James Brown - I'm not a huge non-fiction reader. This one came up in my book club and I was completely drawn into it.

So many!!!!
Stiff by Mary Roach
ANY of Ron Chernow's books. Alexander Hamilton would be the most entertaining one (Lin Manuel Miranda read it and was inspired to write the play). Washington: A Life is also amazing.
I actually have a whole list of Revolutionary War biographies I could suggest.
Also any of Cokie Roberts books- Founding Mothers is so good.
