As examples of this to put you in the right frame of mind, I offer up <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000BOB2ZC/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">Fitzpatrick's War</a> by Theodore Judson and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0441012175/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">A Talent for War</a> by Jack McDevitt. Non-fiction examples also welcome. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.89500 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 08:39:56 -0800 fiction secrethistories adamdschneider
