I've been reading "The Battle for Rome" by Robert Katz it's been a worthwhile read but goes from 09/43 to 06/44.When he writes pertaining to individual accounts his writing reminds a little of Ambrose which keeps me interested
I recently finished reading a book I received for my birthday titled, "What Were They Like to Fly" from 1964 by Squadron Leader D. H. Clarke. I would have posted a picture but it just had a blank cover. Anyway it was a delight to read with the chapters being only a few pages long and each dealing with a particular aircraft he had the privilege to fly. Many of them where pre-war type and he is somewhat of an iconoclast, which adds greatly to his descriptions. Definitely recommended.
