Chickamauga is Ambrose Bierce at his most merciless—and most poetic. A young, deaf boy, playing war with a wooden sword, wanders into the real aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. What begins as childlike adventure slowly unfolds into a grotesque, nightmarish vision of human destruction. With chilling detachment and uncanny beauty, Bierce paints a surreal and horrifying picture of innocence lost in the fog of war.
