For Western US history, Paul Andrew Hutton and Robert M Utley.
For military history, the late Stephen E Ambrose was tops, as was Cornelius Ryan. They both specialized in the second world war.
Stay away from David Irving, he's very biased.
John Toland is excellent.
Joachim Fest is a great German historian. His bio on Hitler is very well regarded.
John Keegan is also excellent, and he's still alive. I especially recommend his The Face of Battle.
