I can think of a few

Paul Kennedy's "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" - WHY and how whole empires fall
Niall Ferguson's "The Ascent of Money" - How money rules the world - here's how.
Jarred Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel" - his thesis might not be entirely correct - but it's a VERY fair look at how our history was influenced by these factors.
Bruce Bueno De Mesquita's - "The Predictioneer's Game" - - How quantitative models are SCARILY accurate
Emanuel Derman's "Models Behaving Badly" - And how sometimes quantitative models are totally wrong.
Paul Roberts - "The End of Oil" - Probably the most serious and balanced read on what could be one of the most important economic problems facing our modern civilization in the next 20 years.
Frank & Cook's "Winner Take All Society" - and why things are a problem.
Richard Florida's "The Great Reset" - Florida is a pretty good author all around - far better than some others in the pitch.
James Bamford's amazing "Body of Secrets" - Not all our enemies are external, and sometimes our allies turn out to actually be thuggish & deadly enemies.
Iris Chang's "The Rape of Nanking" - Nobody here is exactly as they appear.
Carl Sagan's "A Demon Haunted World"
Robin Marantz Henig's "A Monk in the Garden" - Yeah - the priest that proved Darwin's theory, in 1865.....oh yeah and he invented statistics along the way.
Brian Sykes' "The seven Daughters of Eve"
Douglas Hofstadter's "Metamagical Themas" - Every page is practically amazing - a collection of amazing old articles from Dr. H's work
Kristina Borjesson's edit of "Into the Buzzsaw" - the hard truth about a couple of things in the US media
Richard Dawkins' "Climbing Mount Improbable" - a great work about such an amazing idea.
Kim Sterelny's "Dawkins vs. Gould" - this is a REAL debate about evolution!

You seem to have a similar taste in non-fiction to me. Here are a few more that I've either read or have been recommended to me.
