From the trenches of the Western Front to the jungles of Vietnam, novelists have reported with sober clarity, yet their fiction found a way to transcend the facts of death and metal, tanks and blood. Here are stories of soldiers, pilots and seamen, but also of civilians, of cities, partisans, children, women and families. Many of the writers are concerned with battle and death, but others dwell on moments of calm, of love, friendship and humour. Truly international in scope, this anthology includes work from such established writers as Ernest Hemingway, Heinrich Boll and Italo Calvino: also from contemporaries such as Louis de Bernieres and Tim O'Brien, and many less well-known names. What all have in common is an appreciation of the intensity of the war experience and what it has meant in this century.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.), Books<
