Wartime

Name: Wartime
Author: Paul Fussell

by Paul Fussell

As a 19-year-old, Fussell was good at killing other people, and what that allowed him to do was provide the rest of us with some of the most searing observations about war I’ve ever come across. Like Sam Hynes, he’s now a professor. Wartime is a partly personal, partly scholarly look at battlefield realities.
