Description: "Summaries of each year of the war and brief introductions including extracts from letters or diaries give the poems context; biographies of the poets, and indexes, add to the value of the work. Published to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of the Second World War, Shadows of War offers a unique exploration of the period. It is a stirring testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit, and a fitting tribute to all those who served at home and abroad - during the years of conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
