War is horror enough, until something worse appears. These more than 60 military horror stories follow soldiers, veterans, and secret operations that encounter things no training could prepare them for.Readers rate The Living History Project, An Old Man’s Last Secret, and Blue Light among the best. Some are told by men looking back at the end of their lives; others come straight from the front, where what they saw was never in any official report.
