You could try the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell - set in the 19th Century, or you could try the same author's 'Stonehenge', an epic of the imagination which, although it is a novel, is a plausible account of the building of Stonehenge.

W.E.B. Griffin has written some outstanding "historic fiction" novels that deal greater often than not with the militia. a outstanding sequence to apply could be his Brotherhood of conflict sequence. The sequence follows a solid of characters from WWII in the process the Vietnam conflict, and is sweet examining regardless; inspite of the undeniable fact that, each and each e book might desire to stand on my own while comparing the historic accuracy of the history events. I checked different the archives out as i substitute into examining the sequence for the 1st time, and different it substitute into traditionally precise, albeit "artistically decorated" for entertainment fee.

War and Remembrance and The Winds of War by Herman Wouk both books deal with a American Naval Family before and during World War 2. Interesting read since it covers all threater of action during World War 2, including metion of concentration camps since a member of that family is placed in one during the war.

Being a historical geek, any of the Hornblower or Sharpe series of novels. But then I do love Napoleonic history.

How about the Cadfael series by Ellis Peters, about the Medieval Welsh priest solving mysteries (as seen on TV)

Edward Rutherfurd is my favorite writer in that genre. His books are: Sarum; Russka; London; The Forest; Princes of Ireland; and Rebels of Ireland.
