After reading "Band of Brothers" by Ambrose, read "The Biggest Brother: The True Story of Dick Winters" as a follow-up.

Also, after you finish reading the non-fiction hook yourself up with a couple of series written by W.E.B. Griffin - and I suggest reading them in order. "The Corps" follows a group of Marines from Pre-WWII China though the middle of the Korean War. Very entertaining series about old MARINES. The second series is "The Brotherhood of War" and it follows some Army types from WWII through the late-70s Viet Nam.

Griffin served in Korea and writes entertaining historical FICTION. Don't mistake it for anything but that even if you do swear that you know some of the characters in his books. (He's really good at describing the a$$es all of us military types have come across.)
