I like WWII non-fiction and my most recent reads/suggestions:

If naval warfare is your preference, the Ian Toll’s Pacific War trilogy might be for you:

Pacific Crucible
The Conquering Tide
Twilight of the Gods

In that order.

Land/tank warfare:

Spearhead by Adam Makos. Soon to be a major motion picture.

Air war:

Masters of the Air by Donald Miller. Soon to be a mini-series in the Band of Brothers/The Pacific tradition, although not HBO this time.

Pacific Crucible

Twilight of the Gods

Absolutely first rate reading. I concur and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Additionally, James Hornfischer’s “Pacific Crucible” and “Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors” are both magnificent.
