TALES OF WAR

EDWARD JOHN MORETON DRAX PLUNKETT BARON DUNSANY

It was written for a political rather than artistic purpose, but because it was painfully inspired from life (and death) and because it is written by a great writer, it is far more than just a curio. It also crosses more than once into...
