Men at War: The Best War Stories of All Time

xxxi, 1072 pp. 8vo. "This book contains 82 great war stories of all time, selected by Ernest Hemingway to show what war is, how wars are won and lost, the great things and the little things, the courage and the pity of men and women at war. The authors include: Virgil; Sir Thomas Malory; Tolstoy; T.E. Lawrence; Stephen Crane; Victor Hugo; de Maupassant; Stendhal; Charles Oman; Sir Winston Churchill; James Hilton; Col. John W. Thomason; William Faulkner; Kipling; C.S. Forester; Alexander Woollcott; Theodore Roosevelt; Marquis James; Dorothy Parker; Ambrose Bierce; Hemingway and many others. There are 1100 pages of moving, exciting, and thrilling reading that will absorb the interest of everyone. Many of the stories are of our time; all are contemporary in spirit: David fighting Goliath, the Greeks at Thermopylae, the valiant Crusaders, the men who won the Red Badge of Courage (that story is contained complete in this book), the shattered remnants of the Confederate Army, the Marines at Soissons -- they are all as close to us as the men who fought at Dunkirk, at Pearl Harbor, at Midway, and in Vietnam. There is much great reading in this book and one of the finest things in it is Hemingway's introduction."
