100 World War 2 (WWII) Novels

World War 2 literature is an embarrassment of riches, ironic considering the deeply tragic subject material from all quarters of the war. This list could easily extend to several hundred more titles, but these 100 make up the list that I share with library patrons interested in World War II fiction. Hope this aids in your reading journey too!
