Tamar by Mal Peet is another good one for those who enjoy the WWII genre. It's marketed as a book for young adults but I'm in my mid-30's and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

In keeping with the military theme, Romeo Dallaire's Shake Hands with the Devil is a discouraging but essential read. Some of the statistics he provides are staggering, and the accounts of atrocities committed during the genocide are truly sickening, and made worse by the knowledge that it isn't just a story - it's real.
