You can't go wrong with Ambrose, D-Day, Citizen Soldiers, Band of Brothers, and even though it's off topic, Undaunted Courage (about Lewis and Clark) is superb

You might want to look at the library for this one: Corregidor
The Rock Force by Lt Gen E.M. Flanagan, Jr.
My step-dad is mentioned in it on page 210. He was T/5 Frank Arrigo, he and Pfc Clyde Bates members of the 503d Parachute Regimental Combat Team raised the US flag on Corregidor when they re-took it in Feb 1945.

You can't go wrong with AmbroseDitto. Steve's writing a book about the war in the Pacific relying on first person stories. Hope he finishes it before his lung cancer finishes him.
