This might be the first book series that I've read that gets better as it goes along. I just finished the newest one (also I didn't realize that this is an ongoing series when I started, I thought it was just a trilogy.)I Am Mine said:

Bad Blood by John Carreyrou
Billion Dollar Whale by Tom Wright
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
Rocket Men by Robert Kurson
I recommend Blood on the Risers by John Leppelman. Guy did 3 tours, with Airborne, the army riverboats and Rangers.JM84 said:
I really took a deep dive into the Vietnam war after watching the Ken Burns documentary on Netflix. "The Things They Carried" was good but "Matterhorn" by Karl Marlantes was absolutely incredible. It's 600+ pages so I couldn't finish it in one sitting but it wasn't for lack of trying.

I'm currently reading The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and I can't get enough of it. Fortunately there are two more volumes to go.

I actually had to take some breaks in the Three Body Trilogy to process what I just read, haha. Those books gave me weird dreams, but truly amazing storytelling.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I had to put them aside several times so that I could catch up on sleep. Starting with the second book I would wake up in the middle of the night and remain awake for hours.

It's about Vietnam in 1969 and draws from the experiences of Marlantes, who commanded a Marine rifle platoon. Has a unflinching look at the hardships endured by the Marines who waged the war on behalf of America.
"Matterhorn" is the code name for a fire-support base located at Qung Tr Province, on the border between Laos and the Vietnamese DMZ. At the beginning of the novel, the Marines build the base, but later they are ordered to abandon it. The latter portions of the novel detail the struggles of Bravo Company to retake the base, which fell into enemy hands after it was abandoned.
This book based on the real events of Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division. The attack on "LZ Mack" Hill 484, and Hill 400 on March 1 through March 6 of 1969 with Lima Company 3rd Battalion 4th Marines in reserve.
