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

A propulsive thriller that trades depth for forward motion. The voice is direct, the chapters are short, and most readers blow through it in two sittings. If you're between heavier books and want a clean reset, this fits.
