I would also add the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell. Richard Sharpe in an early 19th century British soldier who begins his career in India and then on to the Peninsular Wars. He is also a bad ass who Wellington hates but wishes he had 1000 more of. As usual for Cornwell, he inserts Sharpe into real historical battles. I resisted reading these for a long time because I just never had that much interest in the Peninsular Wars, but that didn't matter. You become interested. Just learning about what made the British army so superior is fascinating. Hint; endless training.
There are close to 20 books, and they were not written in chronological order, but you can find lists of how they fall chronologically, and I would suggest you read them that way.

You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American
