Recommendations?

[crunkyjens]

Can anyone recommend some great WWII books full of real life stories and experiences? I love reading real life accounts yet when you go to a bookstore there are just so many to choose from, I'd like to have a list started before the next time I go. That way I know which ones to pick and which ones to pass on...

I don't know which books you already have, but here are some famous books wrote by American soldiers. An example are the books of the 101st Airborne soldier Donald Burgett:

The Road to Arnhem
Seven Roads To Hell
Currahee!

Or the famous Band of Brothers about the Easy Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division of Stephen E. Ambrose.

Band of Brothers looks like a great one to read. I just popped over to Amazon's website to see what the reviews look like and it's just incredible. There were 420 reviews and the book received 4.5 stars. Looks like a keeper for me. Now if I only had the time to read it. Guess it'll have to wait in line with the other books have already have but haven't read, yet.
