The World's Greatest War Stories

In The World's Greatest War Stories, Jon E. Lewis gathers together some of the most remarkable war stories of all time. War writing at its best is neither propaganda nor jargon: it is simply honest, graphic accounts from the imaginations of those who have looked into the face of death.

In this collection, both short stories and excerpts from major novels view all sides of a soldier's experience.
Including works that inspired such films as Full Metal Jacket and Das Boot, stories of the home front and the battlefield, comedy and tragedy, this is an outstanding anthology of writing at its most fierce, truthful and honourable.
