Semper Fi

Military Fiction is often based on actual events. From the Battle of Bunker Hill in the Revolutionary War, Gettysburg in the Civil War, Pearl Harbor in WWII, or even 9/11/2001, these settings for the stories are part of history. Often the main characters and their stories are fictional. At the other end of the spectrum, Military Fiction written by a person that was actually there may even be considered non-fiction. There are also many, many Military Fiction novels that are cross-genre. Military Fiction is battles, intrigue, history, current events, espionage, egos, and politics, all rolled into one!
