150 pp. In 1910, when "And This is War" was published, emotional wounds of the American Civil War were as yet unhealed. In Europe the winds of the next great war were beginning to stir, and in the United States a spirit of isolationism prevailed. This book does not glorify war, but rather condemns all wars, with thirty-five related short stories that portray the heartache, sadness, hopelessness and devastation that accompany war.
