I already read Black Hawk Down.

For WWII stuff, the best thing I have ever read is the Screaming Eagle series by Donald R. Burgett. It's 4 books (Training/Normandy, Holland, Bastogne, post-Bastogne) and they are very quick and easy reads. It's very similar to Band of Brothers (which is also an excellent book), but it's much more first person. Very hard to put down.

I just finished reading War of the Rats, which is basically Enemy at the Gates. It's pretty good. I just started reading A Midnight Clear. Seems very good so far. There's actually a movie of it, with Gary Sinese. They show it on Bravo every now and then.
