Heres 3 for me:
"Utmost Savagery: The three days at Tarawa" by Col. J.H Alexander. "Operation Iceberg" by Gerald Astor. About Okinawa. "In Harms Way" by Doug Stanton. About the terrible ordeal of the survivors of the Indianapolis.

U333 by Peter Cremer is exactly the same format but is written by a German U-Boat ace. Both are excellent reads. Quote:
