About this book

"In this unique and compelling anthology, Sebastian Faulks and Jorg Hensgen have collected the best fiction about war in the twentieth century. Ranging from the First World War to the Gulf War, these stories from a range of acclaimed authors depict a soldiers experience from call-up, battle and comradeship, to leave, hospital and trauma in late life. Truly intentional in scope, it forms a powerful and moving evocation of the horrrors of conflict"--Cover.

Who this is for

AI · Sample

Quiet, observational, and lightly philosophical — the prose is the point. Best for readers who already enjoy literary fiction and aren't reading for plot. Frustrates anyone expecting clear stakes.
