In general I've found books written by journalists to be great. A few recommendations off the top of my head:
Richard Dowden 'Africa', the chapter on Somalia made a great impression on me.
Barbara Demick 'Nothing to envy', a family suffering through famine in North Korea.
Oscar Martinez 'The Beast', about Central Americans risking their lives trying to get to the US border.
Souad Mekhennet 'I was told to come alone', a German-Arab journalist writing about ISIS and violent jihadism.
