Sorry for the late reply, but I recently read Pacific Crucible by Ian Toll about WWII at sea in the Pacific. It is an excellent narrative telling of the entry of the United States into World War II with plenty of background information about naval sea power and the wide reach of Alfred Thayer Mahan's book, The Influence of Sea Power Upon History. He explains that naval battle strategies that had not changed significantly for hundreds of years were forced to be reconsidered after the rise of the airplane. From there, we arrive at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which Toll paints in vivid detail. Like the subtitle says, Toll very closely follows the "War at Sea in the Pacific, 1941-1942" without a single misstep. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I try to read a healthy mix of both. At any given time, I am usually reading at least one non-fiction and one fiction book simultaneously. These days I have been reading a lot of history and fantasy/science fiction.
