The First World War produced a unique outpouring of prose and
poetry depicting the stark realism of a brutal and futile war; no
war before or since has been so extensively chronicled nor its
misery so exposed. First-hand experiences in the trenches compelled
poets such as Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen to write with a
resolute honesty, describing events with more feeling and sincerity
than the heavily censored letters that were sent home. Accounts of
the Great War are typically written from an English perspective,
but Ghosts of War encompasses a selection of contributions from
across Europe and America, with an emphasis on the Scottish
involvement. Using the words of over one hundred poets and writers,
Andrew Ferguson recounts the war from its optimistic beginning to
its sombre conclusion, bringing the conflict to life in a dramatic,
emotive and, at times, humorous way.
