C.S. Forester Books

These ten stories are among the best CS Forester ever wrote, and they are some of the best war stories ever written. Forester published most of these during the war in the Saturday Evening Post, and they have an immediacy about them and an uncertainty regarding the future that makes them more compelling. My favorite, however, is the last story, a splendidly done alternative history Forester wrote in 1960, 'If Hitler Had Invaded England.' Forester persuasively writes of an outcome determined by all the factors on the British and German sides right after Dunkirk, and--I won't spoil the ending, but I guarantee it's a real page-turner. Highly recommended.
