Distant Thunder, A: Scottish War Stories (May)

War stories have made a significant contribution to the nation’s literature, which is not surprising given Scotland’s long
and distinctive military history. From dark humour to chilling realism, these stories reflect voices that are irrefutably
Scottish and provide insight into ordinary people’s experiences of unimaginable horrors, of coming to terms with the loss
of loved ones and of forming steadfast new friendships in adversity.
