Who is Ambrose Bierce?

And the fame of "the Shadow-Maker" began at the inevitable question. More than one biography of Bierce is contemplated. Till one appear, the best account of his life may be found in Bertha Clark Pope's preface to his "Letters," published by the Book Club of California in 1922.

In that volume is also contained a brief memoir by myself, and other such reminiscences may be found in my article in the October, 1925, number of the American Mercury. A summary of the records would relate that Ambrose Gwinett Bierce was born in Meiggs County, Ohio, on June 24, 1842, was given such education as the country school of that day afforded (he was an inveterate reader as a boy), and volunteered as a private at the outbreak of the Civil War, in 1861. He served for the entire duration of the strife, and during its latter years was an officer on the staff of General Hazen, He twice rescued wounded companions, at grave risk, and was himself twice wounded, once in the heel, and once, far more severely, ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
