War, as the general said, is hell. But sometimes it also brings out the best in people, as illustrated by this gripping new collection of war writing. From the siege of Troy to the present day, historian Jon E. Lewis offers a new selection of sixty unforgettable accounts'many firsthand'of the horror and heroism of war. These include analyses by celebrated historians, letters home by ordinary GIs, high-adrenaline memoirs by frontline combatants, and memorable reportage by master chroniclers: Ernest Hemingway on bombings in Madrid, Tim O'Brien on Vietnam, John Reed on the Mexican Revolution, and Winston Churchill on the Battle of Omdurman.
True in every detail, the vivid and unforgettable 60 stories here range from the ancient Greek to Operation Desert Storm, from the Battle of Trafalgar to Vietnam. Noted military editor and historian Jon E. Lewis has collected such accounts as Ernest Hemingway's on the D-Day landing, George Orwell's on the Spanish Civil War, Robert Graves's on WWI's Western Front, and John Reed's on the Bolshevik Revolution.
