;Fiction War

Can anyone recommend some good SCHOLARLY, NON-FICTION war history books (not novels)?


Some I’ve read are:
Chandler–The Campaigns of Napoleon
Shelby Foote–The Civil War, 3 vols.
Stephen Sears–Chancellorsville; Landscape Turned Red: Antietam; Gettysburg
Victor Davis Hansen–A War Like No Other
Adrian Goldsworthy–The Punic Wars
Cornelius Ryan–Longest Day; A Bridge Too Far

I’m looking for narrative accounts of specific battles or campaigns (any era or locale), based on solid research. Thank you for your suggestions!

What are some good non-fiction war books?


I’ve read Band of Brothers by Ambrose which was really good but ever since I’ve wanted to read some other war books. If you can please give me some recommendations.

Do people like Fiction War novels more than Non-Fiction novels?


I am debating about writing a book about a historical ancient war. Im not sure to make it made up or factual information. I am planing on writting about Greece or Rome with thoose wars but i do not know if i should just make up general names and other what nots or if i should really research it and make it ture but slightly fiction, since its a novel. What do you think will be best?
