From Bob Dylan's song "Masters of War" to a one-act play by Rita Williams-Garcia, this collection explores the many facets of war. By turns heartrending and shocking, the book asks readers to put themselves in soldiers' boots and think what it would mean to ask each morning, "Will I live? Will I win? Will I conquer? Will I be defeated?" Reading list.
