During the service, a stranger enters and addresses the gathering. He tells the patriotic crowd that their prayers for victory are double-edged-by praying for victory they are also praying for the destruction of the enemy... for the destruction of human life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally rejected for publication in 1905 as \"not quite suited to a woman's magazine,\" this antiwar parable remained unpublished until 1923, when Twain's literary executor collected it in the volume \u003cem\u003eEurope and Elsewhere\u003c\/em\u003e. Handsomely illustrated by the artist and war correspondent Philip Groth, \u003cem\u003eThe War Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e remains a relevant classic by an American icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Twain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060911131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060911133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 0.40d","brand":"Mark Twain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047723397375,"sku":"9780060911133","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f053188f-60a3-4419-8366-373d48beb108.jpg?v=1684991825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-war-prayer-mark-twain-9780060911133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
