Then you'll probably like The 13th Valley by John DelVecchio. One of the best war books ever written, and in my opinion the best Vietnam story ever written. Then there's The Middle Parts of Fortune, which takes place during the battles of the Somme and Ancre in 1916-17. Both of these are excellent 'anti-war' books, and in my opinion they deserve joint first place in any war fiction library.
