The articles included in this Special Issue show authors and/or literary characters attempting to understand the motives, beliefs, and cultural values of those who have been defined by their nations as their enemies. This process of attempting to understand the orientation of defined "enemies" often shows that the soldier has begun a process of reflection about why he or she is part of the war experience. The texts included in this issue also show how political authorities often resort to propaganda and myth-making tactics that are meant to convince soldiers that they are fighting opponents who are evil, sub-human, etc., and are therefore their direct enemies. Literary texts that show an author and/or literary character trying to reflect against state-supported definitions of good/evil, right/wrong, and ally/enemy often present an opportunity to reevaluate the purposes of war and one's moral responsibility during wartime.War and Literature1916 Easter RisingA Long Long WayAfghanistanAndromacheAnne DevlinBriseiscaptive-womencognitive dissonancecolonialismcommiserationcommiseration in arjuncontemporary Irish fictiondistanceEdna O'BrienEmilio LussuempathyencountersenemiesenemyshipEnglish Civil WarfantasyfictionFirst World WarFord Madox Fordfrontier literaturefuneral songsGeorge Armstrong CusterHerbert ReadHmongHomerideologyIndian WarsinterpreterIrelandIrish literatureIslamophobiaItalian FrontJ.
