I have to read one for school, and it has to have been written in the last 20 years. It has to be a biography of a global figure... Someone controversial would be easy to journal about too. I would also much prefer a short read, as the other books I'm reading are very long.I need a modern biography of a global figure?
Try a biography of Oriana Fallaci, a larger than life international figure. ';Oriana Fallaci: The Woman and the Myth'; by Santo L Arico
http://www.amazon.com/Oriana-Fallaci-San鈥?/a>
If an autobiography is ok, check out ';Fear No Evil'; http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Fear-No鈥?/a> , a memoir that is worth reading. And, yes, Scharansky is a respected global figure in the human rights realm. In addition, one of his books on foreign policy, ';The Case for Democracy'; was a favorite of the former U.S. president. http://www.slate.com/id/2112699/I need a modern biography of a global figure?
Queen Noor is really interesting she was born in America and was a cheerleader and now she is the queen of Jordan.

Night by Elie Wiesel would also work.

It is really short and it will be easy to write about because it is about the holocaust.
