520 $a"In this unique and compelling anthology, Sebastian Faulks and Jorg Hensgen have 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 soldiers experience from call-up, battle and comradeship, to leave, hospital and trauma in late life. Truly intentional in scope, it forms a powerful and moving evocation of the horrrors of conflict"--Cover.
