What is the best professional military fiction? | RallyPoint
Of the options offered? Warning: mentioning the movies without having read the books is a down-votable offense. Offering an alternative professional military fiction is acceptable, but six answers to a survey is not supportable.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. It's about a Prison Colony on the moon, and revolution, and popular governance, liberty, physics and sentient machines.

The Unforgiving Minute is a stellar read IMHO. Also read Beyond the Band of Brothers by MAJ Richard Winters - both gave very engaging insights into military leadership.
