There is a lot of good suggestions here, thanks. I have order a few books and book marked more  :D

I will avoid the below two authors (good advice Gandalf) as they seem too one side (twisted?) for me.

I think Sven Hassel might be more accurate and unbiased than either of those two jokers.

For those not familiar with their work:

I think Carlos was taking the mick slightly to prove a point when he described them as "fiction"  ;)
Have you seen the rivets on that?

The Beardless Warriors, by Richard Matheson

An excellent novel.  Apologies if it has already been mentioned.
