摘要

Men at War is a readable work that will provide the air-warrior with an evening or two of entertaining reading relevant to the military life. As usual, the advertising hype overstates the case, but readers may learn something about the soldier's life from it. Not really a first-person account, the narrative is filtered through the minds of the professional writers of the several chapters. Many are novelists, all write well, and some are better informed on military history than others. The chapters run from Roman times to Vietnam. The one on the Civil War Soldier is the best of the lot. Others include Roman soldiers of antiquity; battling knights of the Third Crusade; a French artilleryman at Waterloo; Soldiers who fought at Gettysburg; a rifleman in the last American battle of World War II; the invasion of France; a Marine in Korea; and a Navy SEAL in Vietnam. Sometimes fiction represents the truth better than formal history, but it is hard to tell. In this work, despite the historical soundness of the story, the reader has difficulty distinguishing fiction from fact. Men at War is not as unique as the hype claims.
