I'm reading this book now about how the delta force was first started and i must say, it's pretty damn interesting to say the least. The book is calledInside Delta Force. I'm just curious to know about some of the war novels ya'll have read before

Does it have to be WWII or nonfiction?

If not, the '....... King' trilogy(Seer, Demon, Warrior) by Chris Bunch is are a great group of medevil/adult/military/fantasy novels.

Also for non-fantasy modern military books: Anything by Larry Bond.

War novels are not really all that good compared to other fiction.
