The Soiling of Old Glory: The Story of a Photograph That Shocked America by Louis P. Masur
On April 5, 1976, a white man attacked a black man with an American flag on a pole. By great good luck—or bad, depending on your point of view—Boston's Herald American photographer, Stanley Forman, was standing in the right place at the right time—or wrong, see above—with his finger on the shutter of his camera. The resulting photograph was reprinted around the world and won the Pulitzer Prize, and pretty much stopped busing in Boston dead in its tracks.

Without Lawful Authority by Manning Coles
A long extended farce, featuring the sort-of dynamic duo Warnford and Marden. Warnford has been cashiered from the British Army for important documents going missing on his watch, and Marden robs safes for a living (relax, only from those who can afford it). Marden fails to rob Warnford's safe and a beautiful friendship is instantly born, which segues immediately into the both of them going up against Hitler's finest in the UK in the year before the war. Disgraced officer and cat burglar they may be, they aren't unpatriotic.
