In the spring of 1944, Ernest Hemingway travelled to London and then to France to cover the Second World War for Colliers Magazine. He had resisted this kind of journalism for the early period of the war but now threw himself into the thick of events. He flew missions with the RAF, went on a landing craft on Omaha Beach on D-Day, involved himself in the French Resistance forces and famously rode into the still dangerous streets of liberated Paris. He was at the Siegfried Line in the Huertgen Forest when the 22nd Regiment lost nearly every man sent into the fight.

This invigorating narrative is, in parallel, an investigation into Hemingway's subsequent work-much of it stemming from his wartime experience-which shaped the latter stages of his career.

Reviews
"Mort has penned an intricately detailed book that considers well Hemingway's complicated persona." * Charleston Post and Courier *
"Mort is a fine writer who has put his finger on an element in Hemingway's career that hasn't been broadly considered." * Buffalo News *
"Hemingway at War is about much more than Hemingway, offering what some might think of as padding, but I found Mort's character sketches and descriptions of momentous events that were the backdrop to the Hemingway story to be interesting and informative. This is a well-written and well-researched book that will interest admirers of Hemingway, as well as those interested in the war in Europe. " * The Washington Times *
"An occurrence that encompasses a piece of scholarship new to the World War II time period. Offers new and unique information to fuel further commentary. Hemingway at War is as much about war as it is about Hemingway, and I decidedly recommend it if those weighty topics are favorable to you." * Bookreporter *
"An attempt to fill a gap in an otherwise thoroughly examined life. Entertaining." * Kirkus Reviews *
