1. Sideshow by William Shawcross---concentrates on the invasion of Cambodia in the Vietnam war, but is the best book on Vietnam I have ever read.
2. Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell
3. An Army at Dawn by Rick Atkinson---the best history of the Torch landings and the North African Campaign in WWII that exists
4. Battle for Berlin by Antony Beevor---Beevor is a first class writer. His books on Stalingrad, Crete and the Spanish Civil War are also on my shelves.
5. The Russian Revolution: A People's Tragedy by Orlando Figes---incredible history of the Russian Revolution
