Not only among the firefights, in the sweat dripping from heavy armor and the clenching grip on your weapon, but also wedging itself deep into families, infiltrating our love letters, hovering in the air above our heads. It's in our dreams and our text messages. At times it roars with adrenaline, while at others it slips in silently so it can sit beside you until you forget it's there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoin Joe Haldeman, Linda Nagata, Karin Lowachee, Ken Liu, Jay Posey, and more as they take you on a tour of the battlefields, from those hurtling through space in spaceships and winding along trails deep in the jungle with bullets whizzing overhead, to the ones hiding behind calm smiles, waiting patiently to reveal itself in those quiet moments when we feel safest. War Stories brings us 23 stories of the impacts of war, showcasing the systems, combat, armor, and aftermath without condemnation or glorification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead, War Stories reveals the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWar is what we are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword -- Gregory Drobny\u003cbr\u003eGraves -- Joe Haldeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1: Wartime Systems\u003cbr\u003eIn the Loop -- Ken Liu\u003cbr\u003eGhost Girl -- Rich Larson\u003cbr\u003eThe Radio -- Susan Jane Bigelow\u003cbr\u003eContractual Obligation -- James L.
