Looking for book recommendations-war related

One of my favorites is Mila 18 by Leon Uris. It tells the story of the German occupation of Poland, and Warsaw during WW2. A large part of the story concerns the Jewish uprising and defense of the Warsaw ghetto.

Another favotite is Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy, which deals with a possible WW3 scenario between NATO and the USSR. It's more modern, going into a lot of detail of battle strategies.

I'm found both of these excellent reads.

Battle Cry, also by Uris, is a good read. It's partly based on his own experiences with the 6th Marines during WWII.
