'Highly readable . . . an intimate and varied account of
fascinating stories of people at war' History of War War Stories is
a fascinating account of ordinary men and women swept up in the
turbulence of war. These are the stories - many untold until now -
of thirty-four individuals who have pushed the boundaries of love,
bravery, suffering and terror beyond the imaginable. They 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 flair and full of unexpected insights, War
Stories moves effortlessly from tales of spies, escapes and
innovation to uplifting acts of humanity, celebrating men and women
whose wartime experiences are beyond compare.
