The article presents information on several books on war fiction. The book "East by Southwest" by Christopher LaFarge. According to the author LaFarge is describing only those pieces in his collection which, though superficially cast in the form of fiction, have no plot and merely trace certain recurrent patterns of war conduct-how fatigue shows itself, LaFarge's statement of his dependence on fact is irrelevant. Another novel "Freedom Road" by Howard Fast, is set in South Carolina during the reconstruction years, is the story of an experiment in communal democracy in which groups of newly freed Negroes joined with dispossessed white farmers to buy land and farm together and then try to protect themselves.
