Synopsis
There can be no area of human experience that has generated a wider range of powerful feelings than war. Jon Stallworthy's classic and celebrated anthology spans centuries of human experience of war, from Homer's Iliad, through the First and Second World Wars, the Vietnam War, and the wars fought since. This new edition, published to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, includes a new introduction and additonal poems from David Harsent and Peter Wyton, among others. The new selection provides improved coverage of the two World Wars and the Vietnam War, and new coverage of the wars of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Review
"Enables one to see quite clearly the significant societal changes taking place in the perception of war and its place in the human imagination. Highly recommended." --CHOICE
Reviews of previous edition
"This collection is of exceptionally high quality." --Washington Post

"A marvellous collection of old favorites and many surprises." --The Star
"Full of good things... [M]any old favorites and quite a few genuine surprises." --Vernon Scannell, The Guardian
"This is an anthology that works in a way that the work of no single poet could." --The Observer
