A few more...
A Million Bullets - James Fergusson - a study of the British Army in Afghanistan in 2006
3 Para - again, Afganistan in 2006, but focusing specifically on the Para Reg Battlegroup
The Circuit - Bob Shepherd - ex SAS guy who now works as a PMC
The Gamble - Thomas E Ricks - a study of the US Surge in Iraq focusing on the actions of General David Pertraeus (I'm reading this at the moment)
Defiance - The Bielski Partisans by Nechama Tec- the book that inspired the recent Daniel Craig film.
Centre of the Storm by George Tenet - memoir of the ex Director of the CIA
Would also second many of Tigger's recommendations, especially Sniper One, Eight Lives Down, and Rules of Engagement
