A Battle Guide to the Top 20 Military Fantasy Books

Military fantasy books are a sub-genre that examines the lifecycle of war in fantasy settings. The lifecycle of war is made up of the brewing conflict before war, the violence during war, and the destructive aftermath of war. Oftentimes military fantasy interacts with other sub-genres such as epic fantasy, high fantasy, and gritty fantasy. Now, my study of western history and literature may shape my account of military fantasy. Although other cultures have their own compendium of both military fiction and military fantasy throughout history, I admit I am unable to fully contextualize that history in this summation of the genre.
