That sounds rather interesting.
I'm fond of Jeffrey Archer's fiction, especially his early stuff,
First Among Equals
A Matter of Honor

All the Light We Cannot See
That's a great book.
New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge."

Red Rising. The third book is about to come out. The books are great. Hopefully the movies will do them justice.

Cornelius Ryan is a favorite author of mine.
A Bridge Too Far
The Longest Day
The Last Battle
Nonfiction, but written in a story narrative fashion

Girl On A Train- really good who dunnit
The Thin Red Line- It takes about a quarter of the book to get comfortable with Jones writing style but if you have been in the military it hits close to home
All The Light We Cannot See- Absolutely fricking outstanding, couldn't put it down.
