Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. wear to d/j corners. . Drawing together the contrasting testimony of numerous writers and participants - poets and generals, sailors and firefighters, paratroopers and land girls, fighter pilots and factory workers - Godfrey Smith has assembled a unique collage of war experience, ranging from the horrific to the comic, from the dramatic to the humdrum, from the majestic to the bizarre. There are graphic accounts from every theatre of war, while the great actions such as Dunkirk, the Blitz, the convoys, the Battle of Britain, the Desert War and the invasion of Europe are described from several perspectives, with varying degrees of immediacy or hindsight. There are poems by Stephen Spender and Louis MacNiece, John Pudney and Alan Ross, Gavin Ewart and Stevie Smith, and many others, including an anonymous 8th Army soldier, whose touching prayer for courage, written on a scrap of paper, was found fluttering the in desert wind. Equally diverse reports and impressions from the home front complete this unique record, reaffirming the view of those highly charged years that if Britain was never in greater danger, she was never more vibrantly alive. 317 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
