Professor Fussell has chosen a hundred pictures to illustrate Sassoon's writing - poignant photographs of the hunting field and the battle front,drawings and paintings of the period,and pictures of Sassoon and his friends and contemporaries.In addition to an important Introduction and notes by Paul Fussell,the text of the book includes poems and a commentary on the public events and private circumstances of the time.
