I have a plethora of books that I have bought and read all or parts of for one reason or another, but I am nearly finished with War by Sebastian Junger and like the Documentary Restrepo it is amazing.
1. War- Sebastian Junger
2. The Filthy Thirteen, the True Story of the Dirty Dozen
3. About Face- David Hackworth (for good and bad lessons)
Most of what has been listed, and too many others to mention.

Depends on what you are looking for. The story, the history, lessons learned, etc. Red Platoon, Black Hearts, Infantry Attacks, Out of the Mountains, Warrior Diplomat, The Last Warrior, Preventive Defense. All of these contain stories and lessons learned not only to just war but to strategy, policy and their effects at the tactical level.
