Well this is annoying. There are so many versions of "HUGO Winners" edited by Isaac Asimov that no one can agree on which version they have. I hope every version has the wonderful Asimov book and story introductions.
My 1973 edition of The HUGO Winners Volume One 1962-1967 was first published by
1962 (there were no short story selections)
1963 The Dragon Masters by Jack Vance
1964 No Truce With Kings by Poul Anderson
1965 Soldier, Ask Not by Gordon R. Dickson
1966 "Repent Harlequin" said the Ticktockman by Harlan Ellison
1967 The Last Castle by Jack Vance (novelette)
and Neutron Star by Larry Niven (short story)
A comment about the stories. These were not chosen by Asimov. They were the short story winners. I'm a little surprised and saddened that all most all of them were war stories. I'm glad the best Novel winners for these same years were not. That would be creepy. I'm not against good SF war stories but SF is so much more. The Poul Anderson entry is just a reminder that I don't really like his work. Good writing but his stories always read like he wrote a story and then altered it 10% with some impossible stuff to make it a SF.
