Try 'The Killer Angels' by Michael Shaara

It's also already on the way Lemmy! Always been intrigued by the Shaara book after realizing that the 1993 Gettysburg film was based on the book.

Currently half-way through Dan Abnett's Embedded. The plot involves a journalist being inserted into the consciousness of a soldier involved in fighting against insurgents. When the soldier is badly wounded, the journo is forced to assume control of the body. A fascinating scenario.

Did see lots of Cromwells, so really no need for anything else though 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

11 Cromwells and 48 Cents...DO THE MATH....

In the film "A Hill in Korea" (which has a host of British stars as well as introducing a young Michael Caine), the dastardly Chinese bring up a tank which is ... a Cromwell!

In the middle of The Scramble for Africa by Thomas Pakenham. 
That Cecil Rhodes chappie was a bit of a cad what.

Weirdly 'Heatwave' by Richard Castle. Who'd have thought it actually existed. I can already see why Becket was a bit flummoxed being portrayed as Nikki Heat (am I on the correct forum for this?).

[Ithoriel]

I've often wondered if the Nikki Heat series is a spin-off from "Castle" or if "Castle" is just a promo for the books

[Leman]

Chicken and egg I guess. Good read all the same, once you get your head round the American English.

[fsn]

Nikki Heat books feature in Castle. They release about one per season, including the Derek Storm graphic novel. 

I think. Not that I'm that big a fan or anything.

I have that on the shelf, will give it a crack later. After you finish that Meredith Martins "State of Africa" is highly reccomended.
