Ambrose's new book about the Mississippi River might appeal to you, except that it has nothing to do with foreign relations. It's just plain old fashioned history.

Lots of nice pictures.

I decided not to buy it because I already know pretty much everything in it, being a Mississippi River history buff.

Because I already know the material I can clearly see his pastiche technique in it - tending a lot towards secondary sources with a sort of cut and paste effect, but he draws together a lot of different material into a reasonably strong narrative.
