More about the book

The Fog of War Hides the Scene of Battle and also muffles its sounds. Occasionally, however, the authentic voice of a combatant breaks through to recount what happens within the murk. Some of these voices come to us from the long-distant past, for war has been the most compelling of subjects since the earliest days of writing. Others are hot off the press. In either case, the account rendered always conveys the same elements: danger, fear, pain, courage and cowardice.
