Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Recommended by 15 sources.
“Ender's Game pulls you into the mind of a gifted child forced into brutal military training to save humanity. The prose is crisp and efficient, propelling you through battle room tactics and psychological manipulation. The main value lies in its intense focus on leadership, empathy-through-understanding-enemies, and the cost of genius. The limitation: the narrative's relentless grimness and the detached tone can feel cold, and the violence inflicted on children might be off-putting.”
