Yeah he's good. Not enough nervous to my taste but still good. Also he's one of these guys that don't give up on morality, and for that he deserves respect. Oddly I prefer dark/depressive fiction but I'm impressed when a writer sides with the goodguys.

His non fiction is notoriously better than his fiction, I was skeptical about non fiction but I really enjoyed 'Amerigo' (it's like a short enquiry on why America was called America) - it reads even better than a short story. I'm pretty sure his biographies are very good, partly because he wasn't a professional historian, just a good writer.

Check out 'Compulsion' by Stefan zweig ('Der Zwang'), it's about a guy who's supposed to go to war but he doesn't want to because war is never legit, but still he feels like he has to obey, but, yeah, so, it's hard to decide (50page short story, not extraordinary but good enough on the subject, and it contains a twist)
