Advice on next book....

[The Jackal]

Hello gents,

Just finished reading the book by Guy Sajer; The Forgotten Soldier.

I really enjoyed this book. The best one I have ever read sofar!!

So, now I am looking for a new book to read and I would like it to be another personal account (eyewitness) just as in TFS. And of course, I would like this next book to be as good as TFS.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jac

With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa, by E(ugene) B. Sledge, is the best WW2 memoir I've read. As the title suggests, he was a member of the 1st Marine Division. The book gives good insight into the life of a US Marine, fighting in the Pacific Campaign, but, obviously, there is no Wehrmacht/German connection.

I enjoyed 'Blood Red Snow' by Gunter K Koschorrek, the memoirs of a German Soldier on the Eastern front

Another great one is In Deadly Combat: A German Soldier's Memoir of the Eastern Front by Gottlob Herbert Bidermann

I'd second With The Old Breed but I would also recommend Guns Of Victory by George Blackburn which is about his time as a Canadian Forward Observer, landing in France just after D-Day.

[N.C. Wyeth]

Two I would recommend . . .
