The titles below are some that I have found to be extremely good.
Be warned KL is not a light easy read and it covers a time frame from far earlier than most people understand to be the case.
Short Timers = Full Metal Jacket… You find out how Rafter man got that name .
The Nazi officers wife is very eye opening.
M A S H … Just outstanding and " The pros from Dover " had me rolling in the floor laughing when reading that part .
The remainder of the list are simply incredible human interist stories… Image a giant of a man in a combat zone carrying the head of a greek statue for luck.
Seducing and Killing Nazis was the inspiration for my super diorama Hershey Bars and Lucky strikes … It is a tribute to the Oversreegen aisters
I’m always a fan of the classics
Good readings here, specially Corelius Ryan…
I am currently with this:
Wow . Those are some great choices.
Lets keep it going with adding good books to the reading list.
There are a couple more I will add later
I found this title to be an excellent investigation into the invasion in Normandy - right from the original conception to the end of the campaign. Certainly not for younger readers, but then again most of these books aren’t.
Some more good ones about a bomber crewman from New Mexico.
And going a bit further back then WWII here are some books written by my good friend/mentor Richard Wadsworth who passed away about a year ago.
Russell Weigley’s Eisenhower’s Lieutenants Examines the major commanders from D-Day to the end.
I actually just finished Spearhead, and I’m pretty sure I read If I Die in a Combat Zone. Seems familiar.
Here are a couple more to add to the Summer Reading List:
Wasn’t a great book, but it was interesting:
Currently working on:
Read this about a million years ago:
Jim
And now my reading list gets bigger
@jimb . you are helping . My reading list is huge anyway.
I recently read Alexanders letters to his generals .
Shake hands with the devil and intrepid just made my reading list … They look good.
Here’s my late contribution… most of my book shelves are inaccessible because we are remodeling the kitchen and things are blocking them.
Absolutely loved Spesrhead,made me go out and build a Tamiya Pershing
