11.		Dambusters: A Landmark Oral History from Virgin Books Price: £10.22 Customer Review: There are many histories written about the Dams raid where you can glean the clinical facts - and there was the film ... but there's nothing like oral history to engage the imagination and bring you close to the people who were there.

12.		Apache from HarperPress Price: £8.54 Customer Review: This is real boys own stuff. What a story, if only it were true, which sadly the majority is not. If you like the old commando comics then this and Andy Mcnab's stuff will be right up your ally. But if you prefer to read about real heroics then go for some of the other books recounting the stories... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

13.		Soldier's War: The Great War Through Veterans' Eyes from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £10.00 Customer Review: The Soldiers' War is genuinely exceptional. There are other Great War anthologies around, but this one stands out by a country mile.

16.		Churchill's Wizards: The British Genius for Deception, 1914-1945 from Faber and Faber Price: £15.00 Customer Review: I must start by saying that 'Churchill's Wizards' is first and foremost a great read. Nicholas Rankin has managed to turn what at first sight may seem like a forbiddingly esoteric subject into a thoroughly accessible and engaging narrative full of intrigue and incident.
