Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-11 00:00:00 Mohmmad Kabir Published in 2003, edited by Sean Hemingway (grandson of Ernest), with a forward by Patrick Hemingway, the sole surviving son, this is a fine overview of Hemingway's fictional and journalistic work. Excerpts from his "war novels," as well as pieces done for the Toronto Star, Esquire and other magazines, finds Hemingway covering WW1, the Spanish Civil War, the Greco-Turkish War and WW2. It's an amazing array of remembering and reporting and sifting and statement. We've always lived and died with war and Hemingway was prescient in his views of the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about. The scars, the moments of life and solace, the sheer daily horror of landings and bombings and holes to hide in for a time - all clicks and resounds like a shot. A fine and estimable tribute to a great writer.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-24 00:00:00 Mark Mcewen I read this book to get a sense of Hemingway's writing as a war correspondent. To see what Hemingway writing non-fiction reads like. And it didn't disappoint. There are two highlights in the book. The piece about D-Day when Hemingway was in a landing craft and the piece about the taking of Paris.
