Civil War Stories by Ambrose Bierce

5.0

Bierce wrote a variety of short stories in his life, but I think his Civil Wars stories tend to be his best. Don't expect any heartwarming tales because these are realistic and brutal...just like war. Bierce's firsthand experience is obvious as are his negative views on the war. Some of the descriptions are particularly gruesome (even by today's standards), but that just adds to the authenticity. Much better than his collection of ghost stories.
