A Sunday Times Best Book of the Year

Since the advent of modern warfare, literature has all too often been found on the front lines - and in The Book at War, acclaimed historian Andrew Pettegree traces the surprising ways that written culture has shaped, and been shaped by, the conflicts of the modern age.

From the maps and guidebooks that helped plan the invasion of Normandy to the scientific papers that laid the foundations of the nuclear age and the Blitz libraries of the London Underground, this is the definitive story of how books, writers and readers have gone to war. Meticulously researched and filled with fascinating details, The Book at War reveals how literature can be both a lethal weapon - and our most persuasive argument for peace.
