I'd also suggest reading about the GIUK Gap which does resons the strategic significance of holding the island during world war 2
I'd also reccomend Red Storm Rising which is a fictional book following World War 3 started by the USSR (written and set during the cold war) which also hypothesizes a Soviet surprise attack on the island to keep the GIUK SOSUS Gap open
Two favourite books,
Lord of the Rings, J.R.R Tolkien: Link First real book I ever read. It was a huge world that was mine alone to be in. Incredibly deep and engaging, knocks the shit out of the films. 10/10
1984, George Orwell: Link Another one that I read a fair few years ago now, it completely changed the way I looked at the world. It's a bit of a downer, so maybe don't read it if you're feeling low but it's important to be reminded every once in a while that 2+2 really can equal 5 in this life.
Honorable mentions, too many to list but here's some:
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley: Link Excellent book in a similar vein to 1984. It's set in 2540, but it was written between the Great War and world war 2. Brilliant, immersive book.
Red Storm Rising, Tom Clancy: [Link] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Red-Storm-Rising-Tom-Clancy/dp/0006173624/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1467190783&sr=1-1&keywords=Red+Storm+Rising) Cold war gone hot, WW3, standard stuff. Clancy was in the USN during the cold war which lends it a grittier, more believable edge. One for those who are into military hardware and strategy.
Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare: Link Needs no introduction. It's a panty-dropper guys, trust me. That aside, excellent story about centered around conflict and tragedy. Not quite as focused on love as most people think.
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson: [Link] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Girl-Dragon-Tattoo-Millennium/dp/0857054031/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1467190947&sr=1-1&keywords=girl+with+the+dragon+tattoo) Brutally graphic crime novel brought to life by the central character. You're so involved in her problems that it's a struggle to put down.
