And came through that to write wildly popular books and become such an accomplished scholar?

How many people have done that?
I think the fact that very few horribly famous writers have come through wars is more based on the fact there aren't many horribly famous writers. Arthur Conan Doyle came through the Great Boar War in Africa if I recall correctly. Hemingway was in some war I believe. Stephen Crane was in the American Civil War.
