Summary

This selection of prose about the First World War includes the complete text of De Bello Germanico, his first, lively sketch of the war as he lived it in 1916, alongside other essays and reflections. Deeply informed by his reading of eighteenth and nineteenth-century literature, and equally by his knowledge of the countryside, Blunden's prose summons up what was human and natural in that most unnatural of environments, the battlefields of the Western Front.--From back cover.
