What is your current WWII / War in the Pacific current read?

South Pacific Destroyer by Russell Crensahw Jr. Just started it.
On Deck - Neptune's Inferno and The British Pacific Fleet.

Not really War in the Pacific category, but: Pavel Mičianik: Slovenská Armáda v ťažení proti Sovietskemu zväzu 1941-1944 (Slovak Army in war against Soviet union 1941-1944).
It is as detailed as it could be (and I love the details).
Anyway also reading The Army Air Force in world War 2, vol.3 on ibiblio.org

On the train journey to and from work I'm reading Battle of Britain by James Holland.

Nightime reading is Neptune's Inferno

Waiting in the wings: The British Pacific Fleet and the Battle of Leyte Gulf

Shattered Sword. I missed some stuff in the first reading because it is such a page turner.

I am reading the book called: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer. Great book.

Just finished Shinano! The sinking of Japan's secret supership. By Captain Joseph F. Enright, USN with James W. Ryan.
 
Next up, a reread of Japanese Destroyer Captain.

Admiral Arleigh Burke by E.B. Potter.

Just started Lost in Shangri-La, about a plane crash in the New Guinea jungle towards the end of the war, a jungle survival story.

"Turning the Tide: How a small band of Allied Sailors defeated the U-Boats and won the Battle of the Atlantic" by Ed Offley. It's a new book and it's a nice read. Concentrates on three Allied Convoys making the eastbound crossing of the Atlantic in 1943 through the Greenland Air Gap and a few of the U-Boats that attacked them. It's interesting when I run across the name of a transport that is in the game, I've run across a bunch of Luckenbach's for example.

A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish War 1939-1940

At Dawn We Slept, and The West Point Military History Series: The Second World War Asia and The Pacific Volume

Battle of the Atlantic, Morison

Goodbye, Darkness. A Memoir of the Pacific War - William Manchester

American Guerrilla: My War Behind Japanese Lines by Roger Hilsman

Unbroken. about 20% in. Really good read. The accounts of accidents and operational losses is astounding. Sad stuff, like seeing one of your bombers fly past the base with a broken radio never to be seen again.

Am I the only one who isn't currently reading anything about the Pacific?  (For that matter, I'm not currently reading anything about any war anywhere at any time.)
