De Maupassant on War in the Boston Globe
The piece surveys Guy de Maupassant’s stark critique of war and its claimed noble virtues. It appraises his dismissal of a Germanic 1870 doctrine that war sustains virtue, contrasting it with his vivid, scathing description of war’s brutal toll and dehumanizing toll on soldiers and families. It notes the editor’s disjointed inclusion of unrelated notices about silver minting, Olympia oysters, and an office location list.
