re: I'm looking for a good book to read.

Now It Can Be Told by Phillip Gibs. WWI book and British reporter, Phillip Gibbs tells all his horrors from the war. It's name is such that because during the war, he couldn't write a lot of these sights in his newspaper articles due to censorship and just the sheer horror it would bring the people. Vastly interesting.

With The Old Breed by Eugene Sledge. Marine mortarman that fought at Peleliu and Okinawa. Pretty guy wrenching stuff in there.

Helmet For My Pillow[/img] by Robert Leckie. Marine that fought in Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, and Peleliu.

[i]The Last Stand Of Fox Company by Bob Drury. Talks about one Marine rifle company that had to hold one part of the road open for the entire 1st Marine Division's breakout of the Chosin Reservoir to be successful.
