You know, a story detailing one persons experiences in the war. Ideally ww2, but i've read some decent modern stuff too.

I'm currently reading Iron Coffins - Herbert Werner, (WW2 U-Boat captain.)

I've read:

Band of brothers
Marine Sniper - Carlos Hathcock (Vietnam)
Sniper on the eastern front - Sepp Allerberger
Making a killing - James Ashcroft (PMC's in Iraq after the war)
Eight lives down - Chris Hunter (IED tech in iraq/afghan)
No escape zone - Nick Richardson (Harrier pilot shot down behind enemy lines in Bosnia)
Sniper One - Dan Mills (UK Army Sniper in Iraq)
The last true story i'll ever tell - John Crawford (US Army, Gulf war)
Generation kill - Evan Wright (Reporter following a recon company, 2nd gulf war).
Fight for the sky - Douglas Bader
Vipers in the storm - Keith Rosenkraz (F16 pilot, first gulf war)

All pretty good books. I know of Zaitsev's biography which I need to read (I've read war of the rats, which i found to be very good). Anyone else got any recommendations?
