War stories don't have to be glorious. and about heroes.
No one, for instance, can deny that " An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a truly great "War" story.

Good to hear it, SameOldStory. Great observation on what makes a good war book. And the Owl Creek Bridge story! I'd forgotten about that one and am going to go get it and reread. Thanks again.
Now you two got me thinking about Cornwell and O'Brien again, too.
