I'm in the middle of "The Berlin Wall" by Fredrick Taylor at the moment. I was looking for personal stories of what the first days were like when the wall went up and the conditions of daily life under communist rule being enforced by the stasi. I had to get through a lot of the political setup to get to it but all in all it's been a good book so far.
On deck is Jimmy Doolittle's autobigraphy, "I Could Never Be So Lucky Again" and "The Last Man" by Vince Flynn.
