In "Counter-Attack and Other Poems," Siegfried Sassoon emerges as a formidable voice of World War I, capturing the harrowing realities of battle through vivid imagery and poignant language. His literary style combines stark realism with a keen psychological insight, delving into the emotions of soldiers caught in the brutal machinery of war. Sassoon'Äôs use of innovative verse forms and haunting metaphors reflects the disillusionment of his generation, providing a stark contrast to the romanticized notions of glory associated with warfare. This collection serves not only as a testament to individual suffering but also as a critique of the societal attitudes towards conflict, positioning Sassoon as a pivotal figure in the war poetry movement of the early 20th century. Siegfried Sassoon, a decorated soldier himself, was deeply affected by his experiences on the front lines, which shaped his profound anti-war sentiments. Born into a privileged background, his frank depictions of combat were informed by both personal trauma and a literary prowess nurtured at Cambridge. Sassoon's decision to speak out against the war resonated with many contemporaries, establishing him as both an artist and an activist who sought to dismantle the glorification of militarism. "Counter-Attack and Other Poems" is essential reading for anyone interested in the psychological and emotional landscape of wartime experiences. It invites readers to engage critically with the nature of conflict and its aftermath, making it not only a powerful collection of poetry but also a vital record of human resilience. This work is highly recommended for both literature enthusiasts and those exploring historical narratives of war.

Counter-Attack and Other Poems Siegfried Sassoon posted, Lewis guns well placed, And clink of shovels deepening the shallow trench. The place was rotten with dead; green clumsy legs High-booted, sprawled and grovelled along the saps; And trunks, face downward, in the sucking mud, Wallowed like trodden sand-bags loosely filled; And naked sodden buttocks, mats of hair, Bulged, clotted heads slept in the plastering slime. And then the rain began, --the jolly old rain! A yawning soldier knelt against the bank, Staring across the morning blear with fog; He wondered when the Allemands would get busy; And then, of course, they started with five-nines Traversing, sure as fate, and never a dud. Mute in the clamour of shells he watched them burst Spouting dark earth and wire with gusts from hell, While posturing giants dissolved in drifts of smoke. He crouched and flinched, dizzy with galloping fear, Sick for escape, --loathing the strangled horror And butchered, fr We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Excerpt from Counter-Attack, and Other Poems In appearance he is tall, big-boned, loosely built. He is clean-shaven, pale or with a flush; has a heavy jaw, wide mouth with the upper lip slightly protruding and the curve of it very pronounced like that of a shrivelled leaf (as I have noticed is common in many poets). His nose is aquiline, the nostrils being wide and heavily arched. This characteristic and the fullness, depth and heat of his dark eyes give him the air of a sullen falcon. He speaks slowly, enunciating the words as if they pained him, in a voice that has something of the troubled thickness apparent in the voices of those who emerge from a deep grief. As he speaks, his large hands, roughened by trench toil and by riding, wander aimlessly until some emotion grips him when the knuckles harden and he clutches at his knees or at the edge of the table. And all the while he will be breathing hard like a man who has swum a distance. When he reads his poems he chants and one would think that he communed with himself save that, at the pauses, he shoots a powerful glance at the listener. Between the poems he is still but moves his lips. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
