Flags of Our Fathers - James Bradley, I've mentioned this book a few times on here, it's a non-fiction WW2 story about the 4 marines and 1 navy corpsman that were immortalized in the Iwo Jima flag raising photo..It's definately my fav book. Another good one is The Long Grey Line by Rick Atkinson, another non-fiction but this time it's about the West Point graduates from class of '66, they lost the most graduates in Vietnam, they're both quite inspirational, and the Flags of Our Fathers actually invoked a bit of emotion toward the end, which can be quite difficult to do. Both are very very strongly recommended for anyone who's into war stories.
