The War Prayer
By Mark Twain
Citizens are praying for victory in the middle of a bloody war. But when a stranger sets foot in the church and interrupts the service, people are stunned. He has a message for them; that triumph over their enemies also means death and destruction. Do they pray for bloodshed? In this very short story, Mark Twain, author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, questions what patriotism means and the cost of war.
