I'm looking for stories about lost battles, heroism, and sacrifice—where there's little to no hope of victory.
Something with the tone or atmosphere of Halo: Reach (the videogame, not the novel) – not necessarily sci-fi, but that kind of tragic, doomed struggle.
Another example of what I’m looking for is the novel Helsreach (from the Warhammer 40k universe), which tells the story of a desperate last stand against overwhelming odds.
Any suggestions are appreciated—thanks in advance!
