Summary

In "The Brighton Boys in the Argonne Forest," James R. Driscoll offers a captivating glimpse into the harrowing experiences of American soldiers during World War I. Blending historical accuracy with a narrative style reminiscent of early 20th-century adventure tales, Driscoll's work foregrounds the valor and camaraderie of the Brighton Boys, a fictional unit inspired by real-life events and soldiers. The prose is rich and vivid, painting a portrait of both the landscape of the Argonne Forest and the emotional turmoil faced by the protagonists amid the chaos of war, encapsulating themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of combat. James R. Driscoll, a former soldier himself and a passionate advocate for veterans' causes, drew upon his personal experiences and extensive research to craft this poignant narrative. His deep understanding of military life and the psychological impact of warfare lends authenticity to the characters' journeys, reflecting a broader commentary on the American spirit during a pivotal moment in history. Driscoll's background in literature and history informs his skillful storytelling, making the novel not only entertaining but also enlightening. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in military history, character-driven narratives, and the exploration of war's moral complexities. Whether you are a historian, a lover of classic war literature, or simply seeking a profound story of courage, "The Brighton Boys in the Argonne Forest" will inspire and resonate long after the last page is turned.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
The Century races to a close but the reality of a woman’s place within it is still accepted as downtrodden and disposable.  Society is slow to recognise and even slower to act.  Our female authors begin to shine a light on where the future lies through these magnificent literary gems.
