Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This refreshing assembly of poetry selections and prose pieces begins with World War I and concludes with Korea and Vietnam. Welcome coverage is given to the often-overlooked Spanish Civil War. Besides including many new works, the tone of this collection reflects the times. Where collections of military writings in the past stressed traditional themes of valor and pathos, the post-Vietnam era takes a more jaundiced view of warfare. Thus Siegfried Sassoon's epic bitterness is joined by that of Ron Kovic and Michael Herr. Recommended to all public collections.-- Raymond L. Puffer, U.S. Air Force History Prog., Los Angeles
Booknews
In dozens of selections that range from classic fiction and poetry to journalistic dispatches and simple letters home, this anthology presents the voices of this century's major conflicts: the First World War, the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War, and the wars in Asia (Korea and Vietnam).
