Meanwhile, on the list:
Anything by Richard Overy, but particularly Why The Allies Won and Russia's War - probably the best single volume history of the Eastern Front in English at the moment.
Stephen Bungay's The Most Dangerous Enemy is probably the best analysis of the Battle of Britain to date.
Max Hastings - I disagree with most of what he writes, but still worth a look.
Robin Niellands - Controversial, to say the least. Usually seeks to challenge what he sees a prevailing myths on topics such as generalship on the Western Front, the effects/morality of the Combined Bomber Offensive and the Battle of Normandy.
