War Prayer by Mark Twain Unearthed in Poignant Publication
The text presents Twain’s stark antiwar poem often attributed to a vow of truth spoken by the late humorist. Written decades ago near age 70, it argues for peace while confronting the brutal logic of war. Publication appears tied to Yom Kippur era timing and the poet’s candid, if severe, verdicts on combat and sacrifice.
