Inside Delta Force by Eric Haney. He was in the second selection class for Delta. Great look at the selection process and the early days of Delta.
Really good read feeds my Verdun addiction
Sniper on the eastern front
Tiger tracks
The last panther
I've read a ton, but instead of listing them all I would recommend:
Visions from a Fox Hole
City of Thieves (awesome novel)
The Liberator
Easy Company Soldier
War of the Rats
I'm reading Life and Fate, which is good so far, and In the First Circle, which is a bit thick for my tastes, but we'll see if it gets better.

I love that documentary on Netflix that features a reenactment of Barthas's experience on the front.

For WW1 I'd recommend The White War, gives a great perspective on the Italians suck at war meme.
Also, for general history, I've been reading Winston Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples. Very solid history.
Here's all of the /k/ history books I've read.
Dreadnought - Robert K. Massie
Castles of Steel - Robert K. Massie
One Hundred Days - Admiral Sandy Woodward
Japanese Destroyer Captain - Captain Tameichi Hara
Shattered Sword - Anthony P. Tully and Jonathan B. Parshall
Storm of Steel - Ernst Junger
A Rifleman Went to War - Herbert W. McBride
The One Hundred Day Winter War - Gordon F. Sander
The Guns of August - Barbara W. Tuchman
Sea of Thunder - Evan Thomas

Principles of Maritime Strategy - Julian Corbett
I'd say Castles of Steel was my favorite. Any recommendations for military history, specifically naval history?
Gonna toss out a 2nd for Command and Control
If you have any interest in nukes it is a great overview of deployment and what kind of logistics are involved. Also some hilariously scary accidents that almost doomed us all.

If you like WWII Navy books.
Story of the actions of the destroyermen of Taffy 3 at the Battle of Samar, where a US task force of 5 escort carriers, three destroyers, and 5 destroyer escorts, turned back a Japanese force of battleships and heavy cruisers, including the Yamato, in pitched battle.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Men-Gambier-Bay-Amazing/dp/1585746436
Another great one, from the perspective of the men of the USS Gambier Bay, CVE-73. The only aircraft carrier in history to be lost to surface gunfire in the same Battle of Samar. My grandpa was a 40mm gun commander on it when she went down.
About 2/3 of the way through MiG Pilot: The Final Escape of Lt Belenko
It's the first book I've read in a couple years, so my feel for what's good or shit may be a bit off, but I've enjoyed it so far. Interesting insights into life in the Soviet Union.
