You should definitely check out Tim O'Brien since you like war books. Pretty much everything he writes is related to his experience fighting in Vietnam (even the books that aren't necessarily about war). If I Die in a Combat Zone is the actual memoir, but The Things They Carried and Going After Cacciato are excellent fictional accounts. My personal favorites are the ones with soldiers/vets as main characters, but not set during the war, particularly Northern Lights and [i]In the Lake of the Woods[i].
