Modern post-apo book recommendations?

[Vcut]

There are of course the classics: Lucifer's Hammer, Red Storm Rising etc.
But there seem to be very very few modern books about military units in the aftermath of WW3.
While there are numerous post-apo books out there, most are focused on something else that nuclear apocalypse and post-war: EMP, solar flares, pandemics, societal collapse, zombies...
Those military style books that focus on WW3 seem to focus on large scale units and armies that are stilll capable: fighter jets doing strikes, fleets manuvering, helicopters dropping spec-ops units etc.

While many of both style of books could of course serve as inspiration I am actually surprised there aren't more books about military units in the aftermath of nuclear war. The refugee camps, the hunt for food, escaping the fallout, war still going on on small scale etc.

Or have I simply missed them? Recommendations?

The Last Ship (from 1988 - not the TV show) was a pretty great book about a destroyer alone, post nuke exchange, looking for a safe port. IIRC (I read it in high school) it deals with command and loss, with the US and Europe basically completely uninhabitable.

On The Beach also has a significant plot centered around an American sub that is looking for signs of life.

One of my all-time favorites is Final Blackout by L. Ron Hubbard, set in France and England after 30 years of all out war.

Written in 2006, Cormac McCarthys The Road is magnificent. Also could very well be T2K setting motivation.

As these are older threads the modern sense might be missing, but still some good stuff in here.
