It's a profound and brutal piece. Twain actually instructed that it not be published until after his death.

Strongly second the rec of "War Prayer," but just a small correction. Twain only uttered the famous "only dead men can tell the truth in this world" line after he failed to find a publisher to run it. He was ready to take the blowback, but no magazine was, despite Twain's enormous popularity.
