A great, reasonable and enlightening anthology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I read this book a good two years ago, but I loved this book and feel I have to respond to the other person's review.I don't know if the other reviewer doesn't like the concept of women in combat, is misogynistic, or just doesn't know women and the world very well. Or maybe s/he doesn't read much sf or much else either.That s/he would call Margaret Ball's "Notes During a Time of Civil War" one of the worst when it struck me like Atwood's _Handmaid's Tale:_ Both are like a hard blow to the solar plexus. Perhaps many men and some women don't get that fear. "Flambeaux" is a beautiful, tragic, lovely story about the ties that unite and destroy us. It's also the best story about women combatants in this anthology. I used it in a lesson plan to teach about war fought by outsiders.This in my opinion is an excellent anthology of war fiction. Please read it: you'll be glad you did.
