Book Summary and Reviews of War Is Beautiful by James Neugass

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. Elegant prose, brutal description, and a wry sense of humor characterize this journal by a poet and aspiring fiction writer during his months as a Spanish civil war volunteer in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade." - Library Journal Editor's Pick.

"A complement to the memoirs of George Orwell and Ernest Hemingway, as well as Javier Cercas's novel Soldiers of Salamis (2004)—not quite in their league, but not far from it." - Kirkus Reviews.
