Preferably ones that follows the perspective of commanders or people high up on the chain of command

Halo Fall of Reach

The first three novels of Legend of the Galactic Heroes have now been translated to English. They focus on the two parallel careers of high up commanders in two opposing space empires.

Junger's Storm Of Steel is a autobiographical WW1 novel, he's mostly a Leutnant.

The Hammer's Slammers series is pretty good.

Follows a company of armored mercs in the far future after humanity's colonized a bunch of random-ass planets. The first volume is mostly short stories while the second and third are compendiums of shorter books.

It's mostly boots on the ground type of stuff, unfortunately, so you'll be looking more at the personal realities of war than you will the chain of command, though the books At Any Price and Counting the Cost from Vol. 2 both deal heavily with politics in the warzone.

David Drake, the author, spent a fair bit of time working with the American armored forces in Vietnam so his combat stays pretty grounded. I think his vision for future military equipment is a little off, but most of this stuff was written 30 years ago so he probably made as good a guess as anyone else.

Janissaries, but it's Sci-Fi

Jesus Christ these manchild responses.

Aubrey Maturin series. Starship Troopers. The Gallic Wars.

Most war memoirs are disgustingly embellished shit that give a very narrow view on what happened and why. The only good ones I can think of is One Bullet Away by Nathan Fick and Webster's Parachute Infantry which Ambrose stole most of the material from for Band of Brothers.

There are genuinely great books that detail the command of officers, and their actions in time of war, but of course this garbage dumpster of a board hasn't touched them because they're libcucks and retards who only consider fictional books as literature.
