Explore "The Fall of a Dictator" by Arthur Gask on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
War is war, but peace is not always peace, for in peace there may be war also, and then the fighting can be just as hazardous for the individual as when he is advancing in battle order to the rattle of the murderous machine-guns, under a sky belching bombs.
But in times of peace the fighter fights in secret and he fights alone. He has no comrades by him then to give him courage and there are none to guard him while he sleeps. Also, he knows that in certain countries if prisoners are taken they live only to pray for death and bewail the fact that they were ever born. So he expects no quarter there, and he gives none.
