I highly recommend Tom Reiss' book about him, The Black Count.
Things to occupy yourself with!
-- as a matter of fact, you know, I bet we could really make some badass stuff in this subreddit, this Halloween... it's the perfect time to do so, no? Assassin's Creed is pretty anchored into the culture now, people generally will recognize it when they see it, and Unity's pretty big on the "group/customization" aspect this year. I expect to see some stuff, you guys!

If you're a fan of Dumas, do yourself a favor and read Tom Reiss' The Black Count , the biography of Dumas's father, and the inspiration for a lot of his writing. It won the Pulitzer last year for non-fiction, and is a great read.
Once finished with those, I'd highly recommend The Black Count if you want to hear how Dumas' characters were created.
I highly recommend reading The Black Count about Dumas' father, whose life The Count of Monte Cristo was based on. Truly an amazing and captivating story, and a very interesting peak into the history around the French Revolution as well.
Honestly, I wouldn't read sales books for motivation. I'd read sales books if you need help on tactics and strategy, but if you need help picking up the phone you won't find much besides "for every 100 calls, you'll get 10 prospects and one close!".
Like sufi_surfer, I read biographies for motivation. This is fantastic and very motivational. I'm also reading this at the moment. It's half business, half bio. And very fucking good.

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
well just incase you still need a suggestion I would check this book out:

Its a couple of years before the timeline, but I wouldnt be surprised if your Professor could let you. Its about a Slave that somehow rose through the ranks of Napolean's army to become a general and was the father of Alexander Dumas (the guy who wrote Three musketeers and Count of Monte Cristo). Its dense looking but an easy read.
For WW2 you could check out Band of Brothers, Army at Dawn (big book, but damn does it read well)
The Black Count.
Alex Sr. lead a very interesting life, as set forth in this book: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Count-Revolution-Betrayal-Cristo/dp/0307382478/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1371538715&sr=1-1&keywords=black+count
It wasn't. it was the french. We mutated it later on. see the history of haiti and the treatment of the dumas family.
the truth is a bitch and people vote down but I cite sources:[According this painfully researched book: the black count by tom reiss not only was france a colonial power but at the time due to linear succession the count was black. You'll napolean being a dick, miscagination laws and the guy of the cover killing thousands for the glory of france.] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Black-Count-Revolution-Betrayal/dp/0307382478)
