We are so excited to dive into the 2026 “War is Heck” Book List! Every novel was selected for the purpose of exploring human conflict to better understand spiritual conflict. As Catholics we know that all conflict is fundamentally spiritual—war is punishment for sin, as Our Lady of Fatima told the three shepherd children. This year we hope that the books we discuss help us grow deeper in faith, more effective in spiritual battle, more hopeful in victory, and perfected in the love of Christ.
Check out our introduction video introducing all the amazing books on the list, including descriptions and explorations of the themes of spiritual warfare, duty and honor, brotherhood, and love of God and neighbor. We can’t wait to dive into this rich mix of sci-fi, historical fiction, and classical literature with you!
