An anthology of war poetry, edited by the former Home Secretary, Kenneth Baker.

| Synopsis: |
Kenneth Baker's new anthology surveys one of mankind's oldest activities, warfare, through the eyes of the poets who have participated in, witnessed, celebrated and deplored it. From Homer's epic treatment of the siege of Troy to Tony Harrison's moving commentary on the tragedy of Bosnia, the origins, spirit, conduct, technology, art and after-effects of war have inspired poets of all ages and tongues to some of their most powerful and memorable moments. |
