Herman Wouk's Winds of War & War & Remembrance are great WWII stories revolving around a successful navel officers career.
Shogun by James Clavel is about Samauri warrior era of Japans history. Historically not precisely accurate but very informative in general and a great read.
Gone With The Wind is a great read revolving around the Civil War as seen from the eyes of Southerners of the era.
Enjoy
