New York, Canongate. 2004, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 1841957208) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. "The War Diaries" brings together -- in their own words -- the stories of men and women who have endured wartime life. By turns horrific and comic, the entries retain the candid intimacy that is the particular preserve of those who keep diaries. From Che Guevara, Virginia Woolf, and Davy Crockett to anonymous soldiers in the trenches, these poignant and intense missives capture the immediacy, horror, and pathos of wars that span the centuries. From this remarkable cross-section of contributors -- Josef Goebbels, Anais Nin, Florence Nightingale, Samuel Pepys, and Salam Pax to name just a few -- Irene and Alan Taylor bring unprecedented insight into what has been described as "the most exciting and dramatic thing in life" and "the universal perversion": war. This book is a unique gift for history enthusiasts everywhere. New/New.
