The writers Lawrence LeShan and Rupert Brooke are examples of individuals who offered
different, even contrasting, perspectives
about the concept of war. For the purpose of this paper, an
analysis is conducted wherein LeShan's "Why We Love War" and Rupert Brooke's "The Soldier" are compared. The comparative analysis includes a discussion of how the two authors created and expressed their own concepts of war and how these
different concepts serve as an illustration of how the different realities of the writers contributed and influenced to the formulation of these 'war' concepts.
