War Poems (1919)

War Poems is a collection of poems written by Siegfried Sassoon, a British poet and soldier who served in World War I. The book was first published in 1919 and contains a selection of Sassoon's most powerful and poignant poems about the horrors of war. The poems in War Poems are deeply personal and reflect Sassoon's own experiences on the front lines of battle. They are characterized by their vivid imagery, stark realism, and unflinching portrayal of the physical and emotional toll of war. Many of the poems in the collection are written in a conversational, almost casual style, which makes them all the more powerful. Sassoon's poems are not just about the battles themselves, but also about the aftermath of war and the toll it takes on soldiers and civilians alike. War Poems is a timeless work of literature that offers a powerful and moving glimpse into the realities of war. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of World War I, as well as for those who appreciate great poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
