nicwb...I've read all the Derek Robibson books...very good indeed....A recent book by Robert Radcliffe called Across blood red skys is in a similar vein and one great read...

@Adam Parker...I read the WW1 Shaara book and didn't enjoy it at all....abit to American centric...also a rather dull read...I will check out the Herman Wouk books...thanks

WW11 - Devil's Guard -but most of it in vietnam now I think of it
William Wharton's 'A Midnight clear' is a classic - set in the ardennes. turned into a poor film.
best military history novel ever imo is Eagle in the Snow by Wallace Breem set in 5th century AD
try any by Alfred Duggan for ancient/feudal periods
