Best books on WW2?

by Minimisethe

I'm considering buying 'The miracle of Dunkirk' but not sure about how informative and interesting it is, and it got me thinking about this question. What are the most historically accurate books spanning any arch of ww2 in your view?

Hi there, those interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
