Re: Recommendation

Hello and welcome!

If WW2 is a new topic to you, I recommend starting off with some lighter reading such as Goodbye, Darkness by William Manchester or The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors by Jim Hornfisher. Both of those books focus more on story-telling than the more technical aspects of the war. Stephen Ambrose's works are all very entertaining as well.

If you do get into things more and want books with more details, try the books in the William Manchester collection. American Caesar and Arms of Krupp come to mind. Both are outstanding but can be a bit difficult to read.
