I had not realized that either. Here are a few more I thought of.

WWII

The 900 Days: The Siege Of Leningrad by Harrison Salisbury (non-Fiction)

The Night of the Generals by Hans Kirst (Fiction, and more of a mystery novel, but definite setting in WWII)

WWI

If graphic novels are of interest to you It Was the War of the Trenches by Jacques Tardi

Not sure if they are available as ebooks, but I recommend the trilogy written by the Australian WWII correspondent Alan Moorehead - Mediterranean Front, A Year of Battle and The End in Africa. They have also been published in one volume called The African Trilogy. He basically covers the North African and Mediterranean campaigns. Very interesting and very good writing.

Alan Moorehead also wrote a qood book about the WW1 Gallipoli campaign, with the peculiar title "Gallipoli"
