Doing Battle : The Making Of A Skeptic

  • Doing Battle : The Making Of A Skeptic

  • Attribution

    Paul Fussell

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Little, Brown and Co, 1996

  • Description

    For most, World War II is nothing but a chapter in history–for most Americans, a rosy and happy one. He writes with bite and humor of the horrors and inequalities of the so-called “Good War,” which he says “for the United States, [was] an unintended form of eugenics, clearing the population of the dumbest, the least skilled, the least promising of all Americans.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

The Anti-egotist : Kingsley Amis, Man Of Letters

  • The Anti-egotist : Kingsley Amis, Man Of Letters

  • Attribution

    Paul Fussell

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1994

  • Description

    By drawing our attention to the details first of Amis’s life, then of his writing, Fussell reveals the profound moral sense that expresses itself so wonderfully in Amis’s fiction and criticism. In The Anti-Egotist, Paul Fussell does the reading public a double favor in restoring the reputation of this important writer: he effortlessly captures the literary virtuosity that lifted Amis to fame, and he reveals the moral convictions that make this seeming curmudgeon more relevant than ever.

Wartime : Understanding And Behavior In The Second World War

  • Wartime : Understanding And Behavior In The Second World War

  • Attribution

    Paul Fussell

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1989

  • Description

    Winner of both the National Book Award for Arts and Letters and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism, Paul Fussell’s The Great War and Modern Memory was one of the most original and gripping volumes ever written about the First World War. Frank Kermode, in The New York Times Book Review, hailed it as “an important contribution to our understanding of how we came to make World War I part of our minds,” and Lionel Trilling called it simply “one of the most deeply moving books I have read in a long time.” Whereas his former book focused primarily on literary figures, on the image of the Great War in literature, here Fussell examines the immediate impact of the war on common soldiers and civilians.
