The Winter King: A Novel of Arthur by Bernard Cornwell
I'm about halfway through this right now. The only other Arthur I've read is Once and Future King which is on my short list of favorites. This book takes a different tack painting a more realistic version of the legend. It creates a very real Briton/Saxon conflict and makes Arthur a real man with vision. I'm not going to go into it further because you should read it. very good stuff
