Hello All, 

I stumbled across this listserv when looking for a book and wondered if anyone could help. I am looking for a book my father mentioned to me. He doesnt remember the name or the author. He read the book in high school (1981 to 1985). He said the book was from a fantasy book elective class he took. 

The book was a collection of short stories. He recalls only one. He said the story was about a world where wars and world conflict were completed differently. He said each country fighting would send a group of soldiers to an island. And the last man still alive would win the conflict and their country would get what they wanted in the conflict. He thought each country sent 100 men. He said in the story it got down to 1 man (injured) vs 3 men. And the statistics showed he still had a chance of winning (a fraction of a percentage). The group of 3 men kept looking for him. My dad doesnt recall anymore except that the 1 man ended up winning. 

I dont remember reading anything like this before. I have searched around a bit but havent found the book or story he is looking for. 

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
-Shelley
