Publisher's Synopsis
War is certainly one of the most radical experiences a person, or a nation, can go through. The actions taken, the feelings generated, all encompass gains and losses never to be experienced in any other human endeavor. The poems in this collection span the human experience of war from different viewpoints. Regardless of a person's position about war in general, the commonality of fear, pain, dreadful beauty, monstrous loss and death, is something all of us can and do relate to, on and off the battlefield - These poems highlight the highest and lowest of human emotions, shared across time and cultures.
