The War Poems are re-published for the 90th anniversary of the end of the Great War.

Siegfried Sassoon is one of the First World War poets whose poetry has defined a generation. He published most of his war poetry in The Old Huntsman (1917) and Counter-Attack (1918). Chronologically ordered, the poems in this collection act as a timeline for the war, bringing to life the extraordinary experiences of soldiers in that conflict.

About the Author

Siegfriend Sassoon was born in 1886 and died in 1967. Apart from The War Poems of 1919, he published eight volumes of verse as well as semi-autobiographical trilogy - Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man (1928), Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (1930) and Sherston's Progress (1936).

Industry Reviews

"In later years, when Siegfried Sassoon had written much else in prose and verse, he was annoyed at always being referred to simply as a war poet, but it was the Great War that turned him into a poet of international fame, and I feel sure that his ghost will forgive me for thus bringing together these magnificently scarifying poems." --Rupert Hart-Davis, from his Introduction
