Consider For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway. Recommended by 8 sources.

“Sparse, muscular sentences drive a wartime sabotage plot through long stretches of interior reflection and landscape description. The reading payoff is a vivid, immediate sense of being on a front-line mission and feeling the moral stakes of choosing action under pressure. The main limitation is pacing: planning scenes and philosophical asides recur and lengthen the middle, so readers expecting uninterrupted momentum may feel stalled. Best read when you can sit with mood and moral ambiguity rather than chase constant plot turns.”
