War history.

[DamageINC]

Anyone else besides me and PWN read war history?

For the most part mine is WW2, but also have a few on Vietnam and one on WW1.

Books i recommend if anyone is interested.

Stalingrad
With the old breed

I wouldn't recommend the Band of brothers book the show is based on.

Ambrose is well known and the series was great ( for the most part) but very inaccurate at times. For example, the character of Pvt Blithe in the show was portrayed as a coward and having been killed. He in fact was not, lived until the late 60's and re-volunteered several times for service after WW2.

Post your recommendations (PWN)

The Things We Carry by Tim O'Brien and Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers. I had to read them for school and enjoyed them very much. Both are on the Vietnam War.

I read the 'Red Badge of Courage', but that's about it.

This one is more of a WWII History. It's about a jewish man's experience in a Nazi Concentration camp.

I used to read a lot about the Napoleonic era, these are all good reads:

Richard Holmes - Red Coat
Richard Holmes - Wellington the Iron Duke
Andrew Roberts - Napoleon & Wellington - The Long Duel
Rene Chartrand - Spanish Guerilla in the Peninsula War
Charles Esdaile - The Peninsular War - A New History
General Napier - The Napoleonic Wars

And also a bit about Russian Tsarist History:

Russia - A History - Edited by George Freeze
Lindsey Hughes - Russia in the age of Peter the Great
David Moon - The Russian Peasantry

I think Albert Speer was a brilliant man, one of his books is here:
- Inside the Third Reich - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_the_Third_Reich

- Das Hitler Buch (The Hitler Book) A narrative of the 12 years of the Reich demanded by Joseph Stalin after the war. (Based upon eyewitness accounts of Otto Günsche and Heiz Linge (aides)

- Six Armies at Normandy: http://www.amazon.com/Six-Armies-Normandy-Liberation-Revised/product-reviews/0140235426?pageNumber=3

There are a zillion other books on war.
Entire sections of Barnes and Nobel's has a war section by year.
