Defense of Duffer's Drift

My old boss made us read this. It's a light read, demonstrates themes like "use what you have to your advantage," "learn from your mistakes" etc.

Masters of the Air

Great book about the US Air War over Europe, multiple perspectives and stories covered in this, similar to how Band of Brothers was written.

The Ghost Mountain Boys

Incredibly brutal retelling of the 32nd Infantry Division and the early jungle warfare waged by the US in Papua New Guinea during WW2. The battle was eclipsed by the Guadalcanal Campaign but even the Marines that fought there knew that they didn't have it as bad as the 32nd.

Panzer Ace: The Memoirs of an Iron Cross Panzer Tank Commander
This one is actually a very good read that covers Von Rosen's wartime career as a Panzer Commander. This retells how the German Panzers evolved throughout the war and his experience fighting in the West and Eastern Campaigns. His journey started from a trainer tank to the King Tiger.

The History of the German General Staff

Pretty hard to find in 'new' condition since these were taken out of old libraries, but it's a good read that covers the evolution of Germany's Officer Corps dating back to Frederick the Great and the events and personalities that shaped the German Military throughout its history.
