Review:
'It is all here, the mud and rats of the trenches, the hellish
noise of the bombardment, the insane waste of life, the high heroism and
the bitter cynicism' -- Illustrated London News
'Mr Gardner steers his course... with skill and discrimination' -- Cyril Connolly, Sunday Times
'Mr Gardner, who has chosen, introduced and put notes to this
admirable anthology, shows the First World War poets in all moods' -- The Times
'To read through this anthology is ... to live the years
1914-1918, adding to the images of battle which most of us have already,
the actual feelings expressed by the soldier poets who lived, and died,
through trench warfare' -- Times Education Supplement
From the Publisher:
