Once There Was a War
Once There Was a War | John Steinbeck
5 posts | 9 read | 3 to read
“Age can never dull this kind of writing,” writes the Chicago Tribune of John Steinbeck’s dispatches from World War II, filed for the New York Herald Tribune in 1943, which vividly captured the human side of war. Writing from England in the midst of the London blitz, North Africa, and Italy, Steinbeck focuses on the people as opposed to the battles, portraying everyone from the guys in the bomber crew to Bob Hope on his USO tour. He eats and drinks with soldiers behind enemy lines, talks with them, and fights beside them. First published in book form in 1958, these writings, now with a new introduction by Mark Bowden, create an unforgettable portrait of life in wartime that continues to resonate with truth and humanity.

It took me longer than a month but I finished this engaging Steinbeck book for #AuthorAMonth . This is a collection of dispatches that Steinbeck made to major newspapers during 1943 while he traveled with troops in England, Africa, Italy and on the ocean. He really puts the reader right in the action and shows the human side of soldiers. Such a talented writer!

I took my dog for a beach walk today before the rain comes and stopped for a bit to delve into this one, a collection of dispatches written by Steinbeck as a war correspondent in WWII. (Also - look! It meets today's #bookface theme!)
