Good recommendations here. Here's a couple that don't get mentioned a lot:
A Midnight Clear by William Wharton is decent yet overlooked -- set during the Battle of the Bulge and made into an equally decent movie that no one saw. Also, if anyone reads German, I suggest Die Brücke -- about teen recruits in a Bavarian town who try to hold a bridge in the last days of WWII. It's very moving but I'm not sure if there's an English version. There should be.
There are so many. I could go on.
