Some good Historical non-fiction books?

I really love reading history, mostly European history. I'm looking for something along the lines of Stacy Shchiff's Cleopatra/Vera or Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Fiction will also do, but it has to be really accurate.

    The Origins of the Second World War, A.J.P. Taylor

    Twelve Armies at Normandy, John Keegan

    These are all non-fiction, but the authors tell extremely vivid stories.
