Paths Of Glory by Richard Cobb
A lean, bitter antiwar novella set during World War I that follows frontline soldiers ordered to mount a suicidal assault; when the attack fails, the high command seeks scapegoats, selecting a few enlisted men for a show trial and execution to preserve discipline and public morale. Through spare, unsparing prose it exposes the dehumanizing effects of blind hierarchy, the moral compromises of officers and politicians, and the waste of ordinary lives—an unflinching indictment of institutional cruelty and the tragic costs of glory-seeking in war.
