The American Claimant and Other Stories : The Authorized Uniform Edition
(Author) Mark TwainTHE AMERICAN CLAIMANT is a less-known, but brilliantly satirical novel, which ranks behind THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN and PUDDIN'HEAD WILSON, but is still of major interest, as anything by Mark Twain does. Among the "Merry Tales" is a searing dissection of the follies and illusions of war, "A Private History of a Campaign That Failed."
