About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

Librivox recording of War is Kind, by Stephen Crane. This weekly poem commemorated the anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with "War is Kind" by Stephen Crane. The title takes on a gentle yet harrowing irony as this poem powerfully evokes the human costs of war, both the victims of the battlefield and those left behind. (Summary by LauraFox)
