The best books are the official US Army History of WW2,issued by the Center for Military History department. This is a series of 26 books(or more) that detail the US Army's partipication in WW2. These used to be available through the US Printing Office but they are getting hard to find. Check with your local library.
One recent set of books was published by Bill Atkinson. His "An Army at Dawn" was published a few years ago and won a Pulitzer Prize. It is about the US Army in North Africa in 1942-43. He just released the follow-up volume called "The Day of Battle" that covers the first part of the Italian Campaign.
Almost any book by Carlo d'Este is well researched and written. "Fatal Decision" is about Anzio. He has others.
I generally like the Time-Life book series but the WW2 series is not as good as the Civil War series. These are still good resources as they are usually found in your local library.
