Here are some great books guys. I have read these and they are very good reads... sorry if i am repeating ....
This BOOK IS AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JG26 - Top guns of the Luftwaffe - by Donald L. Caldwell Forward by Adolf Galand....... I can not say how awesome this book is...... a must read for ww2 german buffs.
I Flew for the Fuhrer - By Heinz Knoke a first hand Diary of a German fighter pilot .... speaks for its self... probably one of the best first hand accounts ... let me rephrase ... it is the best account of a german ww2 pilot.
Full Circle - By J. E. Johnson This is amazing read about Dog fighting history ---- and how the USA ended up in Vietnam with a jet with no guns (LOL) the F4.... and soon realized and ultimately changed ... it all comes full circle in the dog fighting world. A Great Read.
All the books I have here are page turners.
Salut! Static

Sturmtiger, I've recently begun playing Grigsby's War in the East. I have many books about the war in Russia, but am looking for some new ones. The name that keeps cropping up is David Glantz. I have When Titans Clashed and am curious if you have any recommendations for his other titles. Operational detail is what I am looking for, though first hand accounts are always welcome too. Any other titles you'd recommend?

Thanks for the recommendation Lieste, He has quite a few works dealing with finer subjects. So the detail is better. It's funny, but all of my friends and family know of my interest in WW2, so they sometimes buy me books as gifts, but it's always a book that attempts to cover the entire war, meaning it's nowhere near precise enough, and just rehashes the same stuff we've all known for years. I need books that have a much more focused subject, and like your recommendation covering a single battle. That's the stuff. Glantz also, more than most western historical authors on the Eastern Front, provides more detail through the Russian eye which is great. Here is a list of his books. Prolific! I think I'll get Barbarossa Derailed. Two volumes.

Thanks Lieste for the recommendations. In the end I bought a few new books, operational level eastern front stuff. I passed though on Barbarossa Derailed. I want it, but it's high priced. The soft cover version is going for over $50, and it's four volumes, though only the first two are really needed, the other two are companion volumes, fleshing out the source material. I'll put these on the Christmas list.

I don't see it either. I've read a number of his books now and I don't see bias. A different perspective perhaps, but that's why I read his work, as post-war writing was necessarily German-centric until the records were declassified.
Honestly I'd love to see a similar treatment given to other conflicts, especially the North Vietnamese and WW2 Japanese sides, which I've always felt have been undertold.
