Why do writers write war stories, why do readers read them and what is your opinion about them? Answer ASAP?

Answer 1

Well, I've just started reading one of Tom Clancy's big military adventure stories, and I think the reason people write them and the reason people read them are basically the same: There are heroes and villains, there is drama and excitement of the unknown, there is courage and initiative and intelligent people figuring out tough problems where the outcome is of critical importance.

For me, the main reason is stories of courage. I don't like very gory, gruesome ones, but sometimes there are incidents which are critical to the story which get pretty gross, like the hero gets captured and tortured to tell what he knows.

Answer 2

Why do writers write war stories? to sell books, make a living.
Why do readers read them? because Amazon.com sells them.
What is your opinion about them? Gotta tell you, I like war stories, not sure why really...there's action, tragedy, triumph, defeat, suffering, happiness, heros, villans...etc...I guess some are just great stories. Of course on the other hand war stories are usually somewhat one sided, so from a historical perspective they typically have limited value.

Answer 3

they write em to share the horrors they experienced; they want people to know that they did not waste time fighting and they want them to understand it a bit

people read it b/c they wish to know more of the dangerous/debatable subject and they have no chance of experiencing, say, the vietnam war since its already over (the intrigue of the past)

and all the ones ive read (like the one by LA Myers on vietnam) are quite dull b/c the authors try to hard to impress ppl to repetitively
