This may be the World Affairs Board but I'm going to keep it at a lower level. Here's a list for fire team leader and below. Band of Brothers always makes everyones shortlist. Here's some that are often overlooked that deserve a mention.

Nonfiction:
- Soldier by Anthony Herbert
- Steel My Soldier's Hearts by David Hackworth
- Blackjack 33 by James Donahue

Fiction:
- Sharpe's Rifles by Bernard Cornwell
- The 13th Valley by John Del Vecchio
- Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield

To be worth anything a book has to hold your attention. I went to sleep trying to read Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
