A REMARKABLE anthology that gathers together some of the most vivid, eloquent and moving prose and poetry from those who have witnessed the intensity of war first hand.
This collection of writing shows us the courage and innermost thoughts of those facing not only the enemy but also their own mortality, from Elizabeth I's speech at Tilbury through to the most recent Iraq conflict.
