Some of the ones I've enjoyed include:
– Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
– The Lassa Ward by Ross Donaldson
– A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah
– The Hot Zone by Richard Preston
– Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson
– The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston
– The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson
– Privileged Information by Tom Alibrandi
– Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden (though I realize this one may not have been factually accurate)
– Colbalt Red by Siddartha Kara
I like books about places most people can't or don't go, crazy survival stories, ethical dilemmas, and the dark side of the mundane.
Thanks!
