I’ve read a few fiction books that I liked like A Farewell to Arms or All Quiet on the Western Front. I’d like to see if there are any non-fiction ones that are must reads. But I’m open to anything
Not non fiction but you should check out {The Women by Kristin Hannah}. It’s about Vietnam and is historical fiction based on real people’s experiences and interviews with the author.

I typically don’t do non fiction war books but Spearhead by Adam Makos is about a tank crew in WWII. So freaking good!

The silence of the girls by Pat Barker. The war is the Trojan one, but the truths still stand. You’ll never see the Iliad in quite the same way again

Stalingrad by Antony Beever.
Will change your attitude of ever enjoying a war movie.

*Homage to Catalonia* by George Orwell. Non-fiction about trench warfare, so basically the most un-romantic you can get.
