War is hell, and that's the truth. But it is also many other things, including suffering and courage, fear, nobility, depravity, life and death. Small wonder that writers and journalists have been drawn to the dangerous war zones like moths to a flame. Includes:
George Orwell on the Spanish Civil War
Ernest Hemingway on D-Day 1944
Martha Gelhorn on the Battle of the Bulge
Edwin Tetlow on the overthrow of Batista by Castro's rebels
John Pilger on the last days of Saigon
Max Hastings on the surrender of Port Stanley
Eric Schmitt on Scud-hunting in the Gulf and much more.
