Name some books that have been huge bestsellers over the years -- "In Cold Blood; All the President's Men; The Hot Zone; The Perfect Storm; Black Hawk Down; Longitude -- and you'll find they have one thing in common: They read like novels, but they are true stories. They fall into a category now called "narrative nonfiction" -- the novel of true events. These books seize upon an untold or barely told incident and pry it apart.
