"At the dawn of World War I, poet Siegfried Sassoon exchanged his pastoral pursuits of cricket, fox-hunting, and romantic verse for army life amid the muddy trenches of France. This collection of his epigrammatic and satirical poetry conveys the shocking brutality and pointlessness of the Great War. Over eighty works include "Counter-Attack," "They," "The General," and "Base Details.""--
