Ernest HemingwayтАЩs most important writings on warтАФperhaps the authorтАЩs greatest subjectтАФare brought together in a single volume, introduced and edited by his grandson, Se├бn Hemingway, with a foreword by his son, Patrick Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway witnessed many of the seminal conflicts of the twentieth centuryтАФfrom his post as a Red Cross ambulance driver during World War I to his nearly twenty-five years as a war correspondent for The Toronto StarтАФand he recorded them with matchless power. This landmark volume brings together HemingwayтАЩs most important and timeless writings about the nature of human combat.
Passages from his beloved World War I novel, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, about the Spanish Civil War, offer an unparalleled portrayal of the physical and psychological impact of war and its aftermath. Selections from Across the River and into the Trees vividly evoke an emotionally scarred career soldier in the twilight of life as he reflects on the nature of war. Classic short stories, such as тАЬIn Another CountryтАЭ and тАЬThe Butterfly and the Tank,тАЭ stand alongside excerpts from HemingwayтАЩs first book of short stories, In Our Time, and his only full-length play, The Fifth Column.
With captivating selections from HemingwayтАЩs journalismтАФfrom his coverage of the Greco-Turkish War of 1919тАУ22 to a legendary early interview with Mussolini to his jolting eyewitness account of the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944тАФHemingway on War collects the authorтАЩs most penetrating chronicles of perseverance and defeat, courage and fear, and love and loss in the midst of modern warfare.
