A nonfiction book is one that is based on the current state of knowledge at the time it is written. An example would be a textbook for a history class.
A non-fiction book is a book of facts. A Biography is about the true events of someone's life. It is Historical fiction if it's based off of events that happened in the past, but the specific characters and events described in the book didn't take place.
A letter in which a man talks about seeing the president of the United States
Determining the central idea of a work of nonfiction is actually fairly easy, since such works are intended to inform or persuade, or both. A history informs about events in the past; a biography informs about the life of a person. Persuasive books come in many types, but in order to get to the core of it, try to summarize the book in as brief a manner as possible. "Working people need to unite and overthrow their oppressive overlords" might be a brief summary of The Communist Manifesto, which also conveys its central idea.
