World War II

  • The Splendid Blond Beast - Simpson -- Examines the funding of Hitler's Germany by US & British financiers during the 1920'2-30's
  • Homage to Catalonia - George Orwell Spanish Civil War

  • The Second World War John Keegan - The best single volume study of the war available.

    John Ellis

  • One of the few contemporary historians to rival Keegan's treatments of WWII is Carlo D'Este. His earlier books on Sicily and Anzio are not always available, but grab them if you find them in a used bookstore. Meanwhile, Decision in Normandy is the best book I've read on Normandy. (Keegan's 6 Armies is close, but is not as comprehensive.) His biography of Patton is amazing in the number of new facts and stories he reveals about this legendary commander.

  • West Point Atlas of American Wars
  • Heisenberg's War - THomas Powers describes the controversial Nazi efforts to build an atomic bomb.
