Good WWII Memoirs/Autobiographies?

Anyone know any good memoirs or autobiographies written about WWII? Thanks in advance

 

"Beyond Band of Brothers , The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters" was a very good one I read...Its a short 281-Page memoir put definately worth it.

 

U-boat commander by gunther prien is very good.
Only the last two chapters really deal with WWII but i enjoyed the previous chapters more,Very easy read.

 

There are a few good one's I like that dealing with the Pacific war.
Japanese Destroyer Captain by Tameichi Hara
Admiral Halsey's Story by William F Halsey
South Pacific Destroyer by Russell Sydnor Crenshaw Jr. I'm in the middle of this now and am finding it a very good account. I believe David said he planned a review of this book.

I also found this book review David did not too long ago

Can't help with the ETO, sorry.

 

"Battle Cry" by Leon Uris.
It's a "fictional biography" ; but, it is based on his experiences during the war through the Pacific Campaign.

"Semper Fi Mac" by Henry Berry
Is a compilation of stories from WW2 Marine Corps veterans.

"Up Front" by Bill Mauldin
Details his WW2 experience and the development of the "Willie & Joe" cartoons.

"American Commando"
Is one I have been looking for. It is about "Red Mike" Edson and his development and leadership of the Marine Raiders.

I always search Amazon. When I find something that looks interesting, I Google the author especialy if it is a "Biography / Fictional Biography".

Hey Jug, if you are looking for a good book on "Red Mike" Edson have you heard of Edsons Raiders by Joseph Alexander. I printed the book description of it from Amazon and its sat in my pile of books to buy.

 

The Allenbrooke diaries.

 

waiting for that one to pop up in my Amazon "qeue"

 

I am looking for people who self-published memoirs, letters, true stories to contribute to a Christmas at War anthology. Can you help me get the word out? The goal is to get lots of perspectives from Pacific marine to Japanese interment camp, Africa front to German civilian. Contact by removing x's at xknrkingx2@hotmailx.comx.
