Actually, a tragic contrast that you captured in the title. Tolstoi's War and Peace, considered the greatest modern book by many, does the same in a much grander narrative. Few people may know that 3,000 years ago another author by the name Homer tried to do the same in 28,000 verses (Homer, The Iliad and The Odyssey) only he was thinking of a real PEACE, a permanent one in which women are in charge.
Thanks for looking and comment, ssymeono. I deliberately avoided using War and Peace because of the title of the book. Of course I know of the book and believe I have a copy somewhere; I've not read it yet but I'll get to it one of these days. I've read The Iliad and The Odyssey a couple of times. :-)
