About the Author:
The celebrated British poet, editor, critic, novelist, and diarist Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) enlisted for military service on the first day of World War I; his friends in the service included Robert Graves and Wilfred Owen. Sassoon's war poems were originally published in "The Old Huntsman" (1917) and "Counter-Attack" (1918). After the war, he went on to write several other books of poetry and criticism, as well as six volumes of prose autobiography.
Review:
“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
