Salinger which has influenced generations with its exploration of teenage angst and alienation.

Well, 'Unbroken' is extremely impactful. The story of Louis Zamperini's survival against all odds in the face of Japanese brutality during the war is both inspiring and harrowing. 'Band of Brothers' also has a great impact as it humanizes the soldiers of Easy Company, showing their camaraderie, fears, and heroism. 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich' is impactful too. It provides a detailed and in - depth understanding of how Nazi Germany came to be and the destruction it caused.

I think 'Beloved' is extremely impactful. Toni Morrison's writing is so powerful. It makes you feel the pain and the weight of slavery. The way she tells the story of Sethe and her daughter is just heart - wrenching. It shows how slavery not only affected the physical lives of people but also their mental states and relationships.

Well, 'The Diary of a Young Girl' by Anne Frank is extremely popular. It's Anne's real - life account of hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam, which has become a symbol of the human spirit during the war. 'Band of Brothers' by Stephen E. Ambrose is also well - liked.

I think 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is highly impactful. It has been widely read and taught in schools. It makes people think about justice and racial prejudice. Then there's 'The Fire Next Time' by James Baldwin. His writing is very powerful in addressing the race situation in America. And 'The Underground Railroad' by Colson Whitehead is also impactful as it reimagines the Underground Railroad in a fictional but deeply moving way.

Probably 'The Book Thief'. It has been widely read and loved for its unique perspective. The story of Liesel Meminger stealing books in a time of war is both heart - breaking and inspiring.

Another is the story of the use of new weapons like mustard gas. Graphic depictions of soldiers suffering from the effects of gas attacks really show the inhumane nature of this new form of warfare. These stories not only show the events of the war but also the emotions and experiences of those involved.

The accounts of the Vietnamese people's resilience during the war are quite impactful as well. Some books that include the Vietnamese perspective show how they endured years of bombing and fighting, and still managed to hold on to their culture and hope. It gives a more complete picture of the war as not just an American - centric event.
