The Bloody Game by Paul Fussell
In sections ranging from outstanding works of fiction, to poems and simple letters home, this book presents the voices of the 20th century's major conflicts - the two World Wars, the Spanish Civil War and those in Korea and Vietnam. The greater power of weapons has made killing a more efficient but more macabre event, and this anthology consists of moments on the battlefields, captured in the words of those who faced wars in their newest and most brutal permutation. The contributors include great writers such as Rudyard Kipling, Wilfred Owen and Norman Mailer - and also the humble squaddies.
Paul Fussell, essayist, literary critic and cultural commentator, was born in California in 1924. He has taught English at Connecticut College and, for many years, at the University of Pensylvania.
