    I came across that a while ago, it read like a bad mash-up of his When Titans Clashed, in fact if I recall correctly some parts turned out to have been lifted verbatim.

    Not exactly a war book but The Canterbury Tales. Occasionally I need to sprinkle some classic literature in with my military reading.

    Disaster at D-Day

    An alternative history of the Normandy landings. The book postulates what could have happened if Utah, Sword, Juno, Gold landings were successful but Omaha failed.
    Book has a good quasi-historical feel but I have to say that Rommel's value in the book is somewhat exaggerated. Style is a lot like Cornelius Ryan.

    Just picked up:

    Clash of The Carriers: The True Story of the Marianas Turkey Shoot of World War II by Barrett Tillman and Stephen Coonts

    Only about 60 pages but so far it's fascinating reading. Anyone else read it?

    I've finally started Day of Battle by Rick Atkinson, and am also currently reading Biography of a Battalion by James A. Huston.
