I don't know of any stand alone novels, but The Black Company series is pretty good and not overly edgy.

Are you guys really going to start nitpicking the few and relatively insignificant wars where women actually had combat roles? Most of the time, women as soldiers were a last resort. I can't believe even 4chan has become feminized lmao

I never implied any of that. You asked for historical fiction and said female soldiers were an historical revision. They aren't, you got called out on it and now you are moving the goalposts to pretend that's not what you said, and now you are moving the goalposts to be about rape or something.

Try the Gap cycle by Stephen R. Donaldson. Not fantasy(Sci-Fi), but very grimdark and it's only 4-5 novels.

OP wants fantasy because he wants to revise world history: he wants a world in which no nation recognised the Black Panthers as the official government in exile of the USA, in which deGaulle didn't win but Sartre's campaign to elect a non-existent God succeeded, and in which having double the possible number of recruits doesn't lead to overwhelming numbers in face of torture by nazi supporters post WWII.
OP, you probably want Man in the High Castle.
