Here's a few from the stacks:
Carlson's Raid, The Daring Marine Assault on Makin by George Smith. Best account of the August, 1942 raid that I've found. Well researched.
Omaha Beach, A Flawed Vistory by Adrian Lewis, Traces the development of the Omaha assault plan including how the tactical leadership were opposed to the entire plan. A good read that blows a few holes in some popular misconceptions of the battle.
Unheralded Victory, The Defeat of the Viet Kong and the North Vietnamese Army 1961-1973 by Mark Woodruff. An intresting read concerning the tactical defeat of the VC/NVA and their final political victory.
