War in literature

I’m a writer and a combat veteran, and my favorite books are The Things They Carried, A Farewell to Arms, and East of Eden. There is a dearth of contemporary novels (that I’ve seen) explicitly about war that have affected me besides The Things They Carried (one of two literary tattoos I have). What novels about war (besides Hemingway and O’ Brien) have you found compelling? I do really like All Quiet on the Western Front and (a more contemporary novel) The Narrow Road to the Deep North. The latter is criminally under-read. I leave out War and Peace as well because I can’t recommend it to many people. It’s wonderful and rewarding if you put the time in, but it took me six years.
