Please leave any thoughts on books I should read.

Thank you for your uploads.

There is a lot more out there.
If you'll take an advice; don't overdo the general histories.
After you spend some time in the history echo chamber all those will start to sound the same, wrong or both.

With a bit of decrement you'll easily find Eastern Front Histories since there are fewer of those books.

thank you!
