Future Wars... & Other Stories

Future war may be future hell - but there’ll also be future hilarity. War, as the general said, is hell, but it also has its humorous moments, though the humor may be grim, and you “had to be there” to get the joke.

War is likely to continue into the future, and into space, no matter how many idealistic speeches are made and U.N. sponsored treaties get signed, and so will the wartime jokes, ranging from slapstick to gallows humor. And if “you had to be there” to get the point, some of the best writers in science fiction are on board to put you there, including David Drake, Frederik Pohl, Howard F. Waldrop, and Christopher Anvil.
