The great raid you already have in movie form at the aStore. Its about the WWII Ranger rescue at Cabanatuan, non-fiction.

Michael Wallis is non-fiction, American history and pop-culture.

Clint Johnson is history and govt, non-fiction. I have the mentioned titles but like the Authors, plan on reading them sometime.
