Fussell started out as that most useless and boring thing---an English-department writer---and eventually became an eloquent chronicler of World War 2. (What took him so long? Does he actually expect me to bore myself unto death with stuff about poetic meter and poetic form?) HANDBOOK contains his first forays into WW2-writing. And he saved the best for last. It's a confession called MY WAR and it is a masterpiece of hatred...
