<<...don't like fiction...>>

But you confessed to having read some Asimov novels, nihil. And since you mentioned Voltaire, I presume you read Candide...

And, since you are a lover of history (including military history), what about War and Peace? When I first read that novel, I read only the Peace and skipped the War (I was only twelve years old). You might prefer it to read it the other way around. <g> Those battle scenes alone should be worth the price of admission!
