"Edmund Blunden's haunting and beautiful autobiography is one of the great classics of the First World War. He moves from the poetic to the outrage of death in the trenches with great ease, and the friendships he describes are warm, his comrades' banter witty. A wonderful book that comes highly recommended."
Claire Baldwin, Resident Scholar
