About This Item
NF/NF. Hardcover with dust jacket in mylar protector. A tight, clean copy. Forward by Edmund Blunden. Biographies of the poets. Index. --- An important anthology compiled with the encouragement of Sassoon and Blunden, and published while many of the poets were still alive. ~~~ "The journey from Laurence Binyon's 'The Fourth of August' to Philip Johnstone's 'High Wood' was a long and terrible one; a journey paved with the corpses of a generation. It is a journey which I have tried to trace i this collection; a collection that is, therefore, presented not only a an anthology, but as a book -- with a beginning, a middle, and an end. A book written by men who either witnessed or took part in that journey: a book about war." -- Brian Gardiner
