Does anyone have any good war/action book recommendations?

I live the book Lone Survivor and The Last Stand of Fox Company. I like books that have action and usually include military/intelligence organizations. My favorite/most interesting wars are probably WW2 and Vietnam, and Iraq and Afghanistan. I usually like the books where people go behnd enem lines to do stuff. Like special forces books.
Police/law enforcement books would be good too. I'm 14 (blood and gore really isn't an issue) but don't worry about my age unless the book has like a ton of hard words because I'm actually pretty smart. Also, I am probably getting Gates of Fire.

Thanks!
 
House to House by SSG David Bellavia

Staff sergeant Bellavia's account of the fierce 2004 fighting in Fallujah will satisfy readers who like their testosterone undiluted. Bellavia begins with a nasty urban shootout against Shiite insurgent militias. Six months later, his unit prepares to assault the massively fortified city of Fallujah in a ferocious battle that takes up the rest of the book.
 
A book Im reading at the moment that I love is Band of Brothers written by Stephen E. Ambrose. You have probably heard of or seen the TV series but the book is far more informative and provides an amazing account of the trials and difficulties Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division had to face both during their training and on the various operations they were part of.
If you enjoyed The Last Stand of Fox Company then I highly recommend it. It truly is an incredible book.
 
Any book by Jeff Shaara is good reading. He deals with the Civil War, WWI and WW2 and writes an excellent story, using actual facts in building his stories. W.E.B. Griffin is also an excellent choice, but not as good as Shaara.
