Could anyone recommend some similar space battle or Sci-Fi war books?

Try these they are IMHO the best Sci-fi  ship to ship combat books ever
written.

Our wars were behind us. Earth had a unified government and mankind had
moved out from the planet of its birth. New worlds were settled and with
the
wealth of the galaxy at hand, poverty was eliminated. Then came the
first
berserker attack. The berserker was a vast automated fortress, its prime
directive to eliminate all life. It -- and many others like it -- was
the
inheritance of a war fought between unknown interstellar empires, in
some
time that could hardly be connected with any Earthly calendar. The
berserker
machine hung over a planet colonized by humans and in two days pounded
the
surface into a lifeless cloud of dust and steam.

These are the tales from the battles between life and non-life, between
the
great killing machines we came to call berserkers and humanity, all that
it
was or ever held dear. For of all the starfaring races, only Man has
brought
with him untamed the heritage and instinct of battle.
