Reader's note

Many years and many other tragic wars in human history have passed since Edmund Blunden's recollections of 1914 - 1918 were first published, but no successor has seriously challenged the claim of 'Undertones of War' to be accounted the best English book about that war. Undertones of War was the product of a rare combination of qualities in its author. There is manliness and firmness in it, chivalry and humour, tenderness and compassion. Above all, this title is a poet's book, written in a poet's prose, with a countryman's eye for nature and an experience in the ways of the soldier. This vintage biography is truly moving to read and is a wonderful literary gift for those with an interest in the first world war.
