Would prefer it to be mostly about regular civilians, but some military scenes are okay (i.e. Atonement).
Books I've read so far with this theme:
Atonement, by Ian McEwan
All our Yesterday's, by Natalia Ginzburg
The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini
The Scarlet Pimpernel, by Emmuska Orczy
The Widow of the South, by Robert Hicks
The End of the Affair, by Graham Greene
