"Tales of War" is Lord Dunsany's book of stories set against the backdrop of World War II. Lord Dunsany is best known for having written some of the earliest fantasy, and the first fantastical works of genuine lyricism. But the fact that he fought in World War I is not widely known. He writes about this experience in the "Tales of War." Though the events of this book are either real or set in real situations, there is an obscure sense of unreality in almost all of them. What really amazed is tha
...t the book is filled not with anger or fear, but with true sadness and grief about all that people who were killed during the war. Anyone who is interested in the events of WW II will like this unique collection of stories and essays.
