ABOUT THIS BOOK

50 Tales of Valour, Victory and the Vanquished brings to you some of the greatest war and military
stories written in the past two hundred years. In this anthology, you will find tales that explore the
full range of the horrors and costs of war. There are tales of violence, camaraderie and the action of
war, as well as stories that focus on the fallout of war and military action. Regardless of the setting,
each story will leave you with a sense of discomfort, wonder and tragedy.
The authors featured in this anthology are masters of the genre and some of the very best. From the
all-time greats such as Ambrose Bierce, Maupassant and Hemingway to the slightly lesser known
but just as effective writers writing after the World Wars, the stories in this collection drive home
the futility of war and what it means for the common person.
