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!

Looking for excellent history books to serve as a memorial. Any ideas?
My friend just passed away, and I’m looking for a few exceptional history books to buy for our local library in her memory. She was a fan of Arthurian Legend, Courtly Love, and kings and queens of the middle ages. I have a few ideas, but I was wondering what others would think.
They can be adult or juvenile, and even fiction. But no trash please, I am being sincere here.
Thanks.
Thanks for the info I already knew about King Arthur. Was that an answer for another question?
Also, I don’t have an MLS but I work at this local branch. I’m brainstorming for ideas here, and I’m quite familiar with the collection.
