From the cover blurb:
FINAL WAR is one of the most unusual stories that come along in science fiction which manage to remain off-trail from even the off-trail standards which have gone before. Indeed some may ask if it is science-fiction at all -- though definitely taking place in the future -- or some sort of reflective allegory on the present. The decision, at least of those who write science-fiction, was in favor of it being science-fiction -- and very good science-fiction at that. They nominated it for their Nebula Awars in its class -- and it came mighty close to winning.K. M. O'Donnell, which is a pen-name for a man who has been editor of two of fantasy's professional newsstand magazines, as well as an agent, a writer, and a sharp critic, with a dozen books to his credit (in other lines of literature), brings a collection of fantasies here that show it is still possible to find something new under the imaginative sun.
