Dh goes through so many books I cant keep up with him. I send him about 8-10 books a month. I usually pick out books for him but I do not have time right now so I need your help! Anything Military, sports and Irish history is his favorite but other suggestions are welcomed too! TIA

I have read so many books on WWII and Irish History that I can't even remember. I wish I had all my books unpacked so I could just look on a bookshelf, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. I will just suggest what I can remember.

"With the Old Breed" by E.B. Sledge. They have based the HBO miniseries The Pacific off of his stint with the Marines in WWII.

"Band of Brothers" Steven E. Ambrose. Anything by Ambrose is good.

Thanks 10ECN I will have to get those books. I just bought him a bunch of Leon Uris books...have you ever read any of his books? DH loves them!

I haven't. I will have to look through his books and put it on my wish list on B&N. I read all the time

Ghost Soldiers is great and Once an Eagle if you can find a copy of it.

Ghosts soldiers is a true story

Yes! I highly recommend Once an Eagle and The Big War, both by Anton Myrer.

I just published my novel, Life, Liberty, and Pursuit. It's a love story about a college-bound girl who falls in a pool, the Navy recruit who rescues her, and their struggle to choose between following their dreams and daring to love.

My Dh just started reading the book "The Lone Sodier" and he loves it.. it a real military story revolving one of the major wars...cant remeber which one lol. Also "The pacific" . i know its hbo show now but i actually started skimming through it (its my hubbys) but its really good if you like military history.

The Places In Between, Gates of Fire, Killer Angels. Dh reads a lot of Steven Pressfield books and I think his latest one is about Alexander the Great.

wow you all gave me some great idea's for DH for Christmas....

I don't know Joy if you are still looking for suggestions...but With the Old Breed...was great...its about the guy Eugene in the Pacific.

If you're looking for a new author to follow and a good series, try this one!  "The Scent of Fear".  The author is actually a forensic science expert so it's not just some person making stuff up, he actually lives it!
