Recommendations for military books about little-known events in various wars?

The Mission, the Men and Me. One of the best Military books I have had the privilege of reading, not only because I was part of Operation Anaconda, but the lesson that was taught was very impacting!!

SrA Andrea West Two maritime history books that I emphatically recommend are "Six Frigates" by Ian Toll and "Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage" by Sherry Sontag et al. "Six Frigates" tells the story of the founding of the permanent US Navy and the six original frigates that were built, along with the wars and engagements that they were involved in. "Blind Man's Bluff" is about US submarines during the Cold War. Both books are written in gripping prose.

Hope this helped.

Raiding Forces Series by Phil Ward. He is a 'Nam infantry vet and former Ranger School instructor. He does a lot of research for his book. The first two are mainly about fictional events with most of the main characters being fictional but he does have some real life ones sprinkled in. The rest are about real events that he inserts his characters into. Such as the Abyssinia campaign of WWII
