Klappentext
'An anthology that tries, in a century that has made an art form of killing, to make sense of it all' Guardian
In this unique and compelling anthology, Sebastian Faulks has 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 soldier's experience from call-up, battle and comradeship, to leave, hospital and trauma in later life. Truly international in scope, it forms a powerful and moving evocation of the horrors of conflict.
