I like reading about history. Not sure what your issue is with that.

You specified war.
Your post history also had indicated you are a dip shite
Don't play semantics with me boy. If you define history as war then you've missed the plot on why wars have been fought.

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.

Stick to coloring books they're more on your level anyways.
What a horrifically stupid post. You should feel bad.

Lol
The fact that you don't know how stupid your first post was, and this one, makes it even more funny.

Those all sound interesting. Thanks.

Hardy Boys
There's a lot of books in this series, but the one you want is the one where they solve a mystery.

This is on my to read list, just haven't gotten to it yet.
Also OP, I would highly recommend this - especially if you haven't seen the movie yet:

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.

Again you attack me rather than defend your argument. Sounds like you're a weak mind son.
