Also, a couple of Cornelius Ryan books have been mentioned, all of them great. My favorite, though, is A Bridge Too Far- an all-time classic of the genre.

I also like Max Hastings. Overlord, Armageddon, and Retribution (all WWII) are all great, as is The Falklands.
Could be 3 Commando Brigade by Ewen Southby Tailyour. I've come close to buying it a few times, but as I currently have a backlog of books to get through decided to wait until the paperback comes out. The author is a former Royal Marine officer who saw active service in the Falklands.

Also, Patrick Bishop has just released a sequel to 3 Para entitled Ground Truth, which focuses on 3 Para's return to Afghanistan in 2008.
