 For Vietnam, "Matterhorn" by Karl Marlantes is a viciously despairing yet great read.

For nonfiction WWII, Rick Atkinson's "Liberation Trilogy" is great.

I'd forgotten about Going After Cacciato, going to have to reread that one.

Did anyone ever read Walter Dean Myers' book "Fallen Angels" when they were a kid? It's frequently billed as a young adults novel, but it had some really graphic descriptions of combat and racism in Vietnam.
