War Stories and Poems
A 1990 collection of some of Kipling's war stories, as well as some of his war poems. Much as I love reading anything by Kipling, I appreciate that nowadays it is an acquired taste. However, his war stories in my opinion have stood the test of time and read very well, but as a result many of those featured here have been collected often before. Nevertheless, an excellent choice with an ability to surprise the reader with sudden moments of extreme violence delivered in a no-nonsense casual way. The short items of poetry placed in between each story were my first real experience of Kipling's poetry, but didn't really make any impression on me at all, I guess I just don't enjoy poetry unless it's Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Not a problem, as it occupies such a small portion of the book. Very enjoyable.
