Walter Isaacson and Doris Kearns Goodwin biographies are nearly exhausted.
Along those same lines, are their other authors or particular biographies that spring to mind as definitive and well written? It actually matters less who the biography is about, so long as it is a person (or even a non-fiction accounting of an event) any time from the Renaissance to the recent past in the West, who (or which) has had a lasting impact on our lives. And, again, what Isaacson and Kearns Goodwin have in common is that they both are exceptional historians as well as being excellent authors.
Thanks!
