Battleground by Jim Butcher.

Harry Dresden goes to war with an assortment of enemies and some friends.   Chicago is attacked by an evil army and Harry finds himself in the front lines of the defense.

Butcher does a good job showing the weight of loss in battle.  The relief of survival and the soul-crushing despair of loss.  

Dresden is still a wise-ass but he is becoming a more powerful wise-ass.

The book is page after page of action.  There is a plot but it sometimes is overwhelmed by the action.

There is frequent reference to past characters so I recommend you read the books in order.
