Synopsis
From the Battle of Bull Run to current-day Iraq, war has fascinated some of the finest writers of the past two centuries, and now over a hundred of their vivid and complex eyewitness accounts can be found in one place. Battle after battle are examined by the likes of Martha Gellhorn at the Battle of the Bulge to John Pilger on the fall of Saigon, and help create a collection much like war itself...composed of courage, fear, life, and death.
