  A great biography isn’t just a laundry list of events that happened to someone. Rather, it should tell a story and weave a narrative in almost the same way a novel does. That’s how biography differs from the rest of nonfiction.

   

  Today we have a list of some of the best biography books that one must read.

   

  Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama

   

  The story begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident.

   

  His sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets his family (African side), confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life.

  In this unsentimental, lyrical, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American.

   

  12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northup

   

  This film has won three Academy Awards, i.e, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress for Nyong'o and Best Adapted Screenplay for Ridley. The film was awarded the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Drama, and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts recognized the film with the Best Film and the Best Actor award for Ejiofor.

  Kdnapped in Washington City in 1841, Twelve Years a Slave, Narrative of Solomon Northup, citizen of New-York, 1, and later got rescued in 1853, from a cotton plantation near the Red River in Louisiana.

   

  This film also proved to be a box office success, earning over $140 million on a production budget of $20 million.

   

  Eisenhower in War and Peace

   

  Jean Edward Smith in his Eisenhower in War convincingly portrays an Eisenhower who engineered an end to America’s three-year no-win war in Korea, resisted calls for preventative wars against the China and Soviet Union, and boldly deployed the Seventh Fleet to protect Formosa from invasion.

  In Smith’s bestseller FDR, Jean Edward Smith gave us a fresh, modern look at one of the most indelible figures in American history.

  As America searches for new heroes to lead it out of its present-day predicaments.

   

  Smith’s achievement lies in reintroducing us to a hero from the past whose virtues have become clouded in the mists of history.

   

  My Inventions, Autobiography of Nikola Tesla

   

  This autobiography by Nikola Tesla, originally serialized in 'Electrical Experimenter', is an intensely fascinating glimpse into the mind of a genius, his inventions, and the magical world in which he lived.

  Nikola died alone and impoverished, having driven all of his friends away through his eccentric and neurotic behavior.

  Tesla contributed more to the field of radio, electricity, and television than any other person living or dead.
