I recently re-read "The Wrong Stuff" by Truman Smith. He was a B-17 pilot in the 385th Bomb Group, the same as my great-uncle. Smith gives interesting accounts of his missions, including some of the same ones as my great uncle. I thought it was a great book. I've read "To Hell and Back" by Audie Murphy a dozen times since I was a kid.
"The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William L. Shrier is great. I am currently reading the condensed version of "Memoirs of the Second World War" by Winston Churchill.
If you are interested in Vietnam, "Tiger Force" by Michael Sallah was a good read.

I'm reading Postwar by Tony Judt, which might interest you. Just finished "The One Man" which is a novel about a rescue from Auschwitz. Probably far fetched, but a really haunting and enjoyable read that appears to be well researched.
If you want something a little different than the norm that guys like us go for, All the Light We Cannot See is a great book. It won a pulitzer, and it's something I put off reading for a long time. It's fiction, set in WW2, and there is probably a good chance it ends up high on the list of the best novels of the decade. It's not a true "war" book, but it is a very rewarding read.
Officer and a Spy about the Dreyfus affair may be the best book I've read in the last couple of years. It's not a war book, but it's certainly military-related.
