Andreas Latzko (1876–1943) was a Hungarian-born pacifist writer, known for his anti-war sentiments and literary works criticizing the brutality of warfare. Latzko's experiences as a soldier in World War I, notably on the Italian front, deeply informed his literature, most prominently in his seminal work 'Men in War' (1917), which depicts the harrowing and disillusioning experiences of soldiers. Written from a hospital bed, 'Men in War' is a collection of six vignettes that boldly expose the futility and horror of war, leading to its acclaim as a powerful piece of pacifist literature. Latzko's writing style is characterized by its vivid, unflinching realism and its emphasis on the psychological torments faced by soldiers. Through a narrative that is both stark and compelling, Latzko not only explores the physical sufferings of war but also delves into the emotional and moral decay it inflicts upon individuals and society. 'Men in War' has been recognized for its influence on the genre of war literature and remains a poignant reminder of the personal and collective traumas engendered by violent conflict. Latzko's advocacy for peace and his contributions to literature have cemented his legacy as an important figure in 20th-century pacifist thought.
