For Europe--anything by Antony Beevor. He puts Ambrose to shame. Ambrose is a good storyteller but not a good historian. Beevor is both a historian and a storyteller.
For the Eastern Front--anything by Pritt Buttar, a British doctor. Very long reads but very interesting.
For the Pacific--anything by Ian Toll or James Hornfischer.
