I read "Execution" by Colin McDougall a few months ago, and found it to be very good. The story is based on the author's experiences in the Canadian army fighting in the Italian campaign. There's plenty of action, but the overall tone is very cynical toward the war (the typical attitude of a veteran infantryman). The book won the Governor General's Award when it was released in 1958, and was reprinted in 2005. I don't see any ebook version of this on Amazon, unfortunately, so it may not be easy to get ones hands on this outside of Canada.
If you're looking for a book where the good guys triumph over the evil enemy, then avoid this one.
