5 Good Books on the Military

I believe these are the five most important books one can read regarding contemporary military history:

1. The Guns of August, Barbara Tuchman
2. The General's War, Gordon and Trainor
3. Cobra II, Gordon and Trainor
4. Learning to Eat Soup With a Knife, Jon Nagl
5. The Four Volume Marshall Biography by Forest Pogue, in particular, VOL II on how Marshall reformed the Army prior to and at the start of World War II
