I have read a few decent war books but i can't recall the titles for some reason... I think one of them was Pegasus Bridge which was good read if a little short. Other good books i have laying next to my bed at the moment are the Troy series by David Gemell. There are 3 books which tell the story of Helikaon, Odyssesus and Hektor. They probably aren't historically accurate (i know nothing about ancient greece) but the story is brilliant and the battles are very engrossing. I'd give the series a 8/10 On a similar note are the Emperor books by Conn Iggulden. They deal with the life of Julius Ceasar and Brutus. These are probably my favourite books. The story is brilliant, they aren't some boring history books. Plenty of battles and sex, only missing a bit of rock and roll.
