<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published in 1923 as part of the author's Europe and elsewhere.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Written by Mark Twain during the Philippine-American War in the first decade of the twentieth century, <em>The War Prayer</em> tells of a patriotic church service held to send the town's young men off to war. During the service, a stranger enters and addresses the gathering. He tells the patriotic crowd that their prayers for victory are double-edged-by praying for victory they are also praying for the destruction of the enemy... for the destruction of human life. <p>Originally rejected for publication in 1905 as not quite suited to a woman's magazine, this antiwar parable remained unpublished until 1923, when Twain's literary executor collected it in the volume <em>Europe and Elsewhere</em>. Handsomely illustrated by the artist and war correspondent Philip Groth, <em>The War Prayer</em> remains a relevant classic by an American icon.</p>
