Ah Tony you have similar reading traits to me as I have read most of the books you mention as well as Alexander Kents books on all the naval battles of the 1700-1800's which are fasinating as well.

As everyone above has said, there's too many books to count; as far as the Great War is concerned, if you want another point of view, try "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. Sadly it's not a particularly long book, but it is a fascinating account of the Great War from the point of view of a group of German soldiers.

Also definetly read the Sharpe novels, they are a great books!

Thank you for all the sugestions so far.
I have now finished Harry Hartnett's book and in my opinion it is a good insight into the horrors of war and what our soldures went through to protect our way of life.
I will now start on Howard's sugestion "Voices of War."
Has anyone else read the two I have read so far?
