Zustand: Bueno. : Esta emocionante antología reúne en un solo volumen muchas de las mejores historias de guerra jamás escritas, tanto reales como ficticias. Desde la grandeza romántica de la época napoleónica hasta los horrores deshumanizadores de las dos guerras mundiales, desde Europa hasta África, la colección abarca dos siglos e incluso se extiende hacia el futuro. Incluye relatos de escritores de guerra famosos como Nicholas Monsarrat y Alistair MacLean, junto con autores más conocidos en otras áreas, como la aterradora imagen de H. G. Wells de Inglaterra bajo la amenaza de la invasión marciana y el misterio inquietante de Ambrose Bierce sobre la Guerra Civil estadounidense. La panorámica vista de los ejércitos enfrentados de Rusia y Francia en Borodino es descrita gráficamente por Tolstoi. En contraste, se presenta el drama personal de la historia de amor de H.E. Bates, Fair Stood the Wind For France, y la salvaje manía de la novela de realismo bélico, The Naked and the Dead de Norman Mailer. Esta variada y entretenida selección de historias y extractos, que reflejan la amplitud y profundidad de la experiencia humana en tiempos de guerra, proporciona una lectura estimulante y satisfactoria.
