In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.
A decade of catastrophic worldwide war. Empires in tectonic collision, a society heaving under the yoke, tired of sacrifice, ready for revolution. In literature ideas were explored and detailed revealing a world and people that seem so long ago but also very near.
