Sounds like you are many skills ahead of me. I love to read books written by either the loosers of a war (winners write the history) or little known viewpoints.
Another book if you have time is "The Jungle is Neutral" by a Brit officer who was a stay behind after the Japanese invasion of Malaysia in 41. He survived until the end of the war. A lesson on aditude, tenanacity, positive aditude, and survival against all odds minus the salesmanship and fanatical claims in self help books.
These are off the subject on this bb but maybe you need other subjects to indulge in. Just guessing.
