Just a couple of thoughts:
1. The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the French Defeat in Vietnam, Martin Windrow.
"This is an outstanding work of military history. It tells the story of the ghastly French experience in Indo-China in a way that has never been done in English. The account of Dien Bien Phu is a masterpiece of meticulous historical narrative" Max Hastings.
2. Bunch of Five, Frank Kitson. "General Kitson's lively and vivid war autobiography runs from 1952-1967, years generally regarded as years of peace. He spent them fighting, in Kenya, Malaya, Oman or trying to keep other people from fighting in Cyprus ..... He discusses work against armed dissidents frankly and freely, not shirking the revolting details that raise or lower moral and make of break success." The Economist
