Anthony Beevor's works are great, if lengthy, dissertations on major ( and not so major) World War 2 events. It's reccomended to read "Stalingrad" and "Fall of Berlin" as a pair.

I liked Caesar's works, as it's interesting to see a pompous but brilliant person write his own history.

The Peloponesian War by Thucydides is pretty good.

"Red Cloud and Crazy Horse" is a pretty good book on the final stages of the American-Indian wars. Gets preachy at some points, but does have good native testimonies.
