debunking both sides objectively

The Cannibal

Though it doesn't really support or debunk anything.

"Flyboys:A True Story of Courage", James Bradley.

Focuses on the Pacific theater. I thought it was pretty objective, maybe I'm wrong: read-it back when I was 17 (still a shit-head kid, should probably re-read it).

Also, "Flags of Our Fathers", James Bradley.

Armageddon by Max Hastings is pretty good.
Makes fun of the British/US citizen soldiers versus the more soldierly Germans and the ruthless Russkies. Pokes holes in the 'Montgomery and Patton were military geniuses' meme. Points out where Montgomery was overly cautious and Patton was stalled on the German border and slow to react at the Battle of the Bulge.

Not quite 'Hitler did nothing wrong" but does recognize the military skill of the Germans.

The meaning of the Second World War Ernest Mandel

The Thin Red Line by James Jones.
>>
>>8236125
Gravity's Rainbow
>>
THE NAKED AND THE DEAD you mother fuggers.

>>8236125
Catch 22 is the only good war book.

>>8236125
Slaughterhouse Five
