When I say novels I mean personal accounts like "Band of Brothers" or "Single or Return" (Please note if the person is German, Japanese, American, etc.).
Thanks!

These are all from the perspective of the allies - specifically Americans (just as Band of Brothers is):
Oliver North's War Stories series:
War Stories II: Heroism in the Pacific
War Stories III: The Heroes Who Defeated Hitler
Brotherhood of Heroes: The Marines at Peleliu, 1944--The Bloodiest Battle of the Pacific War by Bill Sloan
One Square Mile of Hell: The Battle for Tarawa by John Wukovits
Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle by Richard B. Frank
The Last Lieutenant: A Foxhole View of the Epic Battle for Iwo Jima by John C. Shively
The Longest Winter: The Battle of the Bulge and the Epic Story of WWII's Most Decorated Platoon by Alex Kershaw
"I'm Staying with My Boys..." The Heroic Life of Sgt. John Basilone, USMC by Jim Proser
BTW: If you haven't watched the series Band of Brothers, I HIGHLY recommend that you do. It was truly an excellent series!
