Have you read it?

Tom Clancy, Frederick Forsyth, Bernard Cornwell

There's lots of books that glorify war. They might have an epilogic gloss suggesting war is ultimately bad but celebrate it the whole way through.

Can't think of anything

>nb4 the fact that certain passages acknowledge the inherent horror and tragedy of war means it's unable to ultimately be a glorification of it

If anything that makes it a far more reasonable pro-war work than much of what came after it. Nonetheless it's undeniable that Homer portrays war as heroic and noble and at points, yes, even fun

Op, you're looking for books like American Sniper. Tom Clancy will also do you good.
