I'll second Wayspooled's suggestion of C.J. Cherryh (one of my favourite authors) and Timothy Zahn.
In addition to the books listed by Cherryh, _TriPoint_ is very good and _Downbelow Station_ is essential background reading and _Merchanter's Luck_ is a fascinating story looking at a military action from the outside in. _Finity's End_ is an excellent story set after the conflict w/ a fascinating insight on who would get chosen for pilot positions and why and how.
For Zahn, I actually preferred _The Blackcollar_ and its second sequel (still need to track down a copy of the 3rd book in the series) --- interesting consideration of how sensor technology would affect military equipment and training.
