There are so many good books. Jeff and Michael Shaara wrote very good novels about the Civil War; the movies God's and Generals and Gettysburg were made from them. Bernard Cornwell wrote an excellent series on the Saxon and on the Napoleonic War; the Sharpe Series, also made into a mini-series. CS Forester's Hornblower series, also of the Napoleonic era, but at sea.
W.L. White's, The Were Expendable is a great book about PT boat during WWII.
I am currently reading the Eagle series by Simon Scarrow, my only complaint with him is he uses modern vernacular and idioms in a first century AD Roman setting. The story line are good if you can ignore little mistakes like an Ox have testicles.
I know I'm picky, but if you know the difference it takes away from the story.
I wish you good reading!
