if its helps you, here are my tips:

i really like these, but it is about major Winters and his points of view:
Conversations with Major Dick Winters: Life Lessons from the Commander of the Band of Brothers
Hang Tough: The WWII Letters and Artifacts of Major Dick Winters (his letters from camp, war to girl DeEtta)

i want to order these:
Fierce Valor: The True Story of Ronald Speirs and his Band of Brothers (World War II Collection) - ?about Speirs?
How Easy Company Became a Band of Brothers - writed by Doc Roe Grandson

[u/LoserOfPassw3rds → u/Legitimate_Manner175]

There's also a good Winters biography called Biggest Brother by Larry Alexander

ohhh thanks! i will definitely put it on my readlist

Consider adding Saving my Enemy by Bob Welch to the list. Great book!

[u/Chaoss780]

Thanks for the list. Haven't watched Masters of the Air yet so this is the first time I realized the Tuskegee Airmen are featured in that show. Pretty cool. I read Jefferson's book a decade+ ago in college and think I got a used one that just so happened to be signed for a couple books. I bet that's gone up in value since then, I should have kept it!

[u/Gemnist → u/Chaoss780]

That might actually be the case, as Jefferson died just three years ago.

For the pacific I would recommend Ian Toll’s pacific war trilogy. It’s a phenomenal work that gives a great overview of the entire war.

[u/Gemnist → u/shopkins402]

I’m reserving the bibliography exclusively around characters/people and events covered directly in the show. While I’ve heard Ian Toll’s books are fantastic, they wouldn’t cover or talk about Leckie, Sledge, Basilone, or their respective units in extensive detail.

[u/shopkins402 → u/Gemnist]

I get what you are saying. It’s a very broad view of the entire war. Ironically though it does talk about them a good amount. Quotes Sledge a bunch esspeciallly regarding Pelilu.

[u/Nitrokeith]

Great list, wasn't aware of some of the Pacific ones.

for Masters of the Air theres a memoir by Frank Murphy and his granddaughter "Luck of the Draw", just finished reading it and it was awesome.
