From the clash of steel to the rumble of tanks, the sights and sounds of war have inspired poets of every nation since conflict was invented.In this timely new anthology, respected poet and historian Angus Calder and anti-war activist Beth Junor have drawn together a representation of war poetrt from nations and cultures across the globe. Shared experience and powerful imagery combine to give this collection of poems an immediacy and poignancy that illustrate both the horror and the humanity that are distilled by the events that humankind calls war.
