War Is... by Marc Aronson and Patty Campbell

In a provocative anthology, two editors with opposing viewpoints presentan unflinching collection of works refl ecting on the nature of war.Marc Aronson thinks war is inevitable. Patty Campbell thinks war is cruel, deceptive, and wrong. But both agree on one thing: that teens need to hear the truthful voices of those who have experienced war firsthand. The result is this dynamic selection of essays, memoirs, letters, and fiction from nearly than twenty contributors, both contemporary and historical — ranging from Christian Bauman's wrenching 'Letter to a Young Enlistee' to Chris Hedges's unfl inching look at combat to Fumiko Miura's Nagasaki memoir, 'A Survivor's Tale.' Whether the speaker is Mark Twain, World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle, or a soldier writing a miliblog, these divergent pieces look war straight in the face — and provide an invaluable resource for teenagers today. This 2009 Candlewick Press Paperback is in good condition.
