摘　　要：This paper presents war literature as a distinctive genre intertwined with various schools of social thought and literary criticism including nationalism, social realism, and commitment. It puts forward a definition of war literature and the history of its emergence. It also attempts to explore some grey areas in war literature, relating to its artistic and creative modes of writing, its biases and prejudices, It questions the principles of authenticity and representation in this literary genre, addressing the contestation between reality and fiction, aesthetics and ideology which dominate the discourse of postcolonial studies. The paper chooses Palestinian literature as a model case study, discussing the effects of the Satrean school of commitment, Arabized in the concept ofAdab al-lltizdm on the creativity and individuality of writers. It discusses some of the general characteristics and themes of Palestinian literature, moving from early war literature （1948） to more contemporary works （1990s-）, and manifesting the strategies through which some writers try to surpass the revisionist trends of post-colonialism
