Does anyone know any good books about the Finnish Winter War and Continuation War in English?

A few short reads on the topic:

The Royal Hungarian Army in World War II, by. Nigel Thomas
Axis Forces in Yugoslavia 1941-45, by. Nigel Thomas
Germany's Eastern Front Allies 1941-45, by. Peter Abbott and Mike Chappell
Germany's Eastern Front Allies (2): Baltic Forces (v. 2), by. Nigel Thomas
Blue Division Soldier 1941-45: Spanish Volunteer on the Eastern Front, by. Carlos Caballero Jurado and Ramiro Bujeiro (tangentially related, but still interesting).

It was mentioned earlier in the thread, but plus one to Germany and the Axis Powers: From Coalition to Collapse, by. Richard L. DiNardo. Its an excellent read.

Its been some years, and by years I mean at least a couple decades, since I've read it, but for the first part of your question, you might check out A Frozen Hell: The Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-40, by. William Trotter.
