With the Old Breed by E.B. Sledge is an excellent account of his experiences as a Marine Private on Peleliu and Okinawa. It’s a must read.

Tremendous writer. "The Haj" is a very underrated book and so relevant for contemporary times

Band of Brothers was riveting as was the series

The Liberator. Like band of brothers but follows one guy. He's the only guy still alive from his starting company.

The Patton Papers. Anything to do with Patton's letters and diaries is gold.

Ship of Ghosts about the uss houston. Two things will happen when you read it: first you'll get to see what happens when we practice a politically correct disposition toward our allies with respect to planning, leadership, and combat (that shite went out the window real quick, but unfortunately too late for our boys on the Houston). Second you will have a hard time curbing your anger toward the Japanese.

William Manchester's Good Bye, Darkness .
Works as both WW II history and autobiography. Manchester is a fine historian particularly as a biographer. His work on Churchill is deep and broad. Darkness is his personal account of the Marine's war with Japan in the Pacific. For him it is cathartic; for us it's haunting.

The Storm of War by Andrew Roberts. Covers all facets of the war in depth. Roberts is one of the better living historical writers.

Whoever mentioned A Higher Call in this thread about the German/US pilots being good was correct.
Amazing read. Check it out.

All the Way to Berlin: A Paratrooper at War in Europe
By James “Maggie” Megellas
He’s the grandfather of one of my son’s friends, and he’s the most decorated officer in the history of the 82nd Airborne. He just turned 100 and is an incredible guy - when he speaks, you know you’re in the presence of someone special. He was in Operation Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge, among other battles. His story is a first hamd account from his point of view - just an amazing read. He narrated some of the stuff at the WWII Museum, and parts of the movie “A Bridge Too Far” seem to come straight from his book.

I just finished Red Sun Setting by William T. Y'Blood; an account of the Battle of the Philippine Sea, aka The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.
