An End to Glory, by Pierre-Henri Simon. Writing an eloquent antiwar tract in the form of a novel, the author recounts the agony of a French professional soldier who, in Algeria, comes to believe that his is an ignoble role in a shameful war.
The Road Past Mandalay, by John Masters. Another face of war—the pride and nobility of fighting men at their best—is the concern of the author, who tells, more convincingly than in any of his novels, of his World War II service with the Indian army in the East.
