Glenn Gray in his incomparable World War II memoir and mediation The Warriors. Reflection and calm reasoning are alien to it.

The Warriors (1959) by J. Glenn Gray a counterintelligence officer who served in Italy France and Germany and a scholar with a Ph D. in philosophy is a sensitive and revelatory meditation on the nature of war and its effects on both soldiers and civilians interspliced with his letters journals and wartime memories. All the Brave Promises (1966) is novelist Mary Lee Settle's memoir of her year as an airfield radio operator in the Royal Air Force. Settle brilliantly evokes both the working - class culture of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force's 'other ranks and the petty and demeaning regimentation inherent in military life.
