Description

Jon E. Lewis (ed). Gripping accounts of real-life horror & heroism from the history of human conflict. The 50 stories range in time from the Ancient Greeks to Operation Desert Storm; from the Crusades to Vietnam; from the Battle of Trafalgar to the dropping of the atomic bomb. They reveal the faces of war -- heroism, savagery, excitement & terror, on land, sea & in the air. Many are written by the greatest chroniclers of conflict: Thucydides on the wars between the Greek City States; John Reed on The Russian Revol.; Robert Graves on WW1; George Orwell on The Spanish Civil War; Ernest Hemingway on the D-Day Landings; Michael Herr on Vietnam; & John Simpson on the bombing of Baghdad.
