I prefer more serious, literary works; but I admit I'll devour pretty much anything related to the second World War, the European theater specifically. If anyone has any recommendations, let me know! Before anyone suggests The Nightingale and/or All The Light We Cannot See, those are already on my TBR list. ;)

Some books in this period I love: City of Women, by David Gillham, Code Name Verity and Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein, and Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly.

If I had to choose, I admit I liked Rose Under Fire better, but Code Name Verity was very good as well! It's been a long time since I've read either book, I'll have to give them a reread sometime...

Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson.

This and Code Name Verity are among by two favorite books on any subject, ever.

Allow me to add Joseph Heller's Catch-22.

I'm a bit more into the action/adventure books when it comes to WWII. Where Eagles Dare was a fun read off the top of my head.

Most of my reading in WWII has been on the non-fiction side and I highly recommend The Rising Sun (2-volumes) which tells WWII from the Japanese POV, and if you like intel, A Game of Foxes and Marching Orders cover the European theater.

The Caine Mutiny, The Winds of War and its sequel, War and Remembrance, by Herman Wouk. Three of the best books I've ever read. Wouk is a master storyteller/writer.

In God I dwell, especially in Eugene OR
Sat Nam! (Literally "Truth Name"--a Sikh greeting)

Safe Passage by Ida Cook about getting Jews out of Germany. Caveat: She writes at least as much about opera during the period (which is how she got into rescue work) as she does about the Holocaust.

Blessings,

The Thousand Hour Day is a massive tome about the German invasion of Poland, which is a campaign that routinely is overlooked.
