If you are game for a historical novel to make reading military history a little more palatable, I recommend the Colleen McCullogh series:
The First Man of Rome, The Grass Crown, Ceasar: A Novel.
She gets consistently high marks for historical accuracy and is an talented author known for producing an engaging novel (like her early work The Thorn Birds). I've read a good deal of military historical fiction genre works and I highly recommend her books.
Currently most of her novels are not available for the Kindle and I'm hesitant to press the link for "tell the Publisher I'd like to read this on a Kindle" since I don't own one. In fact this whole post might be a waste since I can't find a single version of the three novels I cited above in ANY ebook format. Regrettable that only the new stuff and really old stuff is available. I hope we don't end up relagating the quality works between 1923 and 2005 to the dustbin of literature because they didn't come along at the right time be made available in digital format.
