Bringing together nearly 350 short pieces by many writers, it traces what it has meant to bear arms across the centuries, shifting between the heroic, tragic and darkly comic, and between famous figures and ordinary fighters. The collection ranges from the ancient world through to modern wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with stories featuring everyone from Boudicca and Joan of Arc to Ulysses S. Grant, George S. Patton and the SAS. Hastings also highlights writers who served in uniform, alongside accounts of women soldiers and wartime roles, and reflects on changing attitudes to war, from glory to grief, and the growing recognition of civilian suffering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUseful additional information \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eEditor: Max Hastings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68048072966420,"sku":"9780008454265","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9780008454265_1.jpg?v=1794394253","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/soldiers-great-stories-of-war-and-peace","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
