When 16 year-old Joseph Donaldson announced to his parents in 1809 that he had 'gone for a soldier', they were understandably horrified, given the bleak and uncertain prospects facing their beloved son, of whom they had such high hopes. Donaldson was an educated lad who would probably have made his way in the world had he not decided to join the army. Fortunately for his parents -- and, indeed, ourselves -- Donaldson returned safe and sound at the end of the Napoleonic Wars and within a few years of his return put pen to paper to record his account of his adventures in that most glorious of British campaigns, the Peninsular War, fought between 1808 and 1814. Donaldson's lot was pretty much that of many other soldiers; tough, demanding, at times extremely unpleasant and life-threatening, but he bore it all well considering his very young age. That he did so is born out by the fact that by the time he left the army he was a sergeant, no mean achievement for somebody in the uncompromising ranks of the British army of the early 19th century. The end result of Donaldson's writings was his wonderfully graphic, gripping and often poignant memoir, the Recollections of the Eventful Life of a Soldier, reproduced here for the first time since 1852, along with his two other works, The War in the Peninsula and Scenes and Sketches in Ireland. In them, Donaldson writes with great skill of his experiences in Portugal, Spain and the south of France, serving with Wellington's army as it fought its way through the Peninsula. His account includes such episodes as Massena's retreat from Portugal, the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, the storming and sacking of the fortress of Badajoz (a really gripping piece), the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, the Pyrenees, the invasion of France and the battles of Orthes and Toulouse, all of which Donaldson witnessed as a soldier in the ranks of Sir Thomas Picton's 'Fighting' 3rd Division, the toughest division in Wellington's army. This is a classic book which ranks amongst the most graphic and enjoyable of the many memoirs of the Peninsular War. -- Dust jacket.

In the mid-1980s, Emmanuel Jal was a seven year old Sudanese boy, living in a small village with his parents, aunts, uncles, and siblings. But as Sudan's civil war moved closer—with the Islamic government seizing tribal lands for water, oil, and other resources—Jal's family moved again and again, seeking peace. Then, on one terrible day, Jal was separated from his mother, and later learned she had been killed; his father Simon rose to become a powerful commander in the Christian Sudanese Liberation Army, fighting for the freedom of Sudan. Soon, Jal was conscripted into that army, one of 10,000 child soldiers, and fought through two separate civil wars over nearly a decade. But, remarkably, Jal survived, and his life began to change when he was adopted by a British aid worker. He began the journey that would lead him to change his name and to music: recording and releasing his own album, which produced the number one hip-hop single in Kenya, and from there went on to perform with Moby, Bono, Peter Gabriel, and other international music stars. Shocking, inspiring, and finally hopeful, War Child is a memoir by a unique young man, who is determined to tell his story and in so doing bring peace to his homeland.

Henry Fleming has joined the Union army because of his romantic ideas of military life, but soon finds himself in the middle of a battle against a regiment of Confederate soldiers. Terrified, Henry deserts his comrades. Upon returning to his regiment, he struggles with his shame as he tries to redeem himself and prove his courage.The Red Badge of Courage is Stephen Crane's second book, notable for its realism and the fact that Crane had never personally experienced battle. Crane drew heavy inspiration from Century Magazine, a periodical known for its articles about the American Civil War. However, he criticized the articles for their lack of emotional depth and decided to write a war novel of his own. The manuscript was first serialized in December 1894 by The Philadelphia Press and quickly won Crane international acclaim before he died in June 1900 at the age of 28.
