Biographies of people like Che Guevara, Malcolm X, etc.

What kind of books are you looking for? There are many types including but not limited to:

-Theory
-How-to's/DIY's
-History
-Biographies
-Journalism (like exposes, recounting events, investigation etc.)

probably some others too I forgot- what exactly are you wanting to get out of this? Do you want to learn about an ideology or about certain events and people?
