'Phoenix Squadron' by Rowland White - The Marathon journey of two of Ark Royals Buccaneer bombers to prevent a Guatemalan invasion of what was then British Honduras in 1972 -

'One bullet Away' by Nathaniel Fick - His account as a US Marines Officer in Afghan then Iraq - well written

Sea Harrier over the Falklands - 'Sharkey' Ward - I enjoyed it, although I suspect some here may disagree with the fairly biased stance

Generals: The British Commanders who shaped the World - Mark Urban - Excellent read, very interesting

Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda - Lt Gen Romeo Dallaire - best book here, monumentally sad and moving, of the UN commander in Rwanda during the genocide. Makes a case for humanitarian intervention all by itself.
