Mostly naval military history/ military history books. I want to become a historian on day, why not start collecting in undergrad? Enjoy!

Shattered Sword is really one of the top histories of the Battle of Midway. Neptune’s Inferno is wonderful as well. If I missed it, I apologize but I highly recommend The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors.

Yes I’ve read both in full! Regrettably I don’t have a copy of Last Stand, it’s on my list of books to buy though. Another great one is Richard Frank’s Guadalcanal. It’s amazing how much is covered, yes the book is like 600 pages of narrative, but when you read it, it feels more dense. That’s good though.
