War Is…: Soldiers, Survivors, and Storytellers Talk About War

In a provocative anthology, two editors with opposing viewpoints present an unflinching collection of works reflecting on the nature of war.

Marc Aronson thinks war is inevitable. Patty Campbell thinks war is cruel, deceptive, and wrong. But both agree on one thing: that teens need to hear the truthful voices of those who have experienced war firsthand. The result is this dynamic selection of essays, memoirs, letters, and fiction from nearly than twenty contributors, both contemporary and historical - ranging from Christian Bauman’s wrenching Letter to a Young Enlistee to Chris Hedges’s unfl inching look at combat to Fumiko Miura’s Nagasaki memoir, A Survivor’s Tale. Whether the speaker is Mark Twain, World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle, or a soldier writing a miliblog, these divergent pieces look war straight in the face - and provide an invaluable resource for teenagers today.
