A fascinating account of ordinary men and women swept up in the
turbulence of conflict, War Stories tells the tales of thirty-four
individuals who have pushed the boundaries of love, bravery,
suffering, and terror beyond the imaginable. These stories span
three centuries and five continents. There is the courage of Edward
Seager who survived the Charge of the Light Brigade; the cunning of
Krystyna Skarbek, quick-thinking spy and saboteur during the Second
World War; the skullduggery of Benedict Arnold, who switched sides
in the American War of Independence; and the compassion of
Magdalene de Lancey who tenderly nursed her dying husband at
Waterloo. Told with vivid narrative energy and full of unexpected
insights, War Stories moves effortlessly from tales of spies,
escapes, and innovation to uplifting acts of humanity in times of
crisis, celebrating men and women whose wartime experiences are
beyond compare.
