Memorable and Moving,
By
This review is from: War Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets) (Hardcover)
This anthology has something for every poetic taste. From the epic heroism of The Iliad , to the sorrowing irony of " After Blenham ", to the heart stopping horror of " The Death of The Ball Turret Gunner ". There are 115 poems witten by soldiers , poets , authors ; both famous and obscure. Thoughtfully edited in a way to ultimately frame a fine tribute to the soldier across the ages. An interest in military history could be helpful for the sake of context ,although the strength of the collection is not in the history , but in the humanity.

This review is from: War Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets) (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed thumbing through this volume the first time... it has a lot of good poems and a few that I found particularly moving, such as Farewell to Arms and The War in Heaven. This is a good book for any Soldier to have.
