Notes
In this book the author seeks to tell at least part of the story of the war, not in any conventional way, but through the intertwined lives of the soldier poets who came to describe it best, and indeed to symbolize the war's tragic arc and lethal fury. The book is mostly preoccupied with Rupert Brooke, Isaac Rosenberg, Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfrid Owen.
