Has anybody here written anything set in a war? I'm currently in the process of writing a novel/novella set in World War Two, but the war will only be seriously discussed for 30-40 pages. What's the best way to capture the authenticity of being in war?

Nothing matches actually being out there, but you can't do that.
I recommend reading, watching, listening, and absorbing everything you can about the war before you try and accurately capture it.

Comes down to research really, if you want to capture as much as you can without actually being there.

Obviously this. Talking to people who been in war is pretty decent too. Preferably civilians and not brainwashed soldiers.
