The inescapable irony of war is its ability to inspire the finest and most poignant literature. Few settings kindle the poetic spirit more fiercely than the battlefield. This book, with a Foreword by Major General Patrick Cordingley, features some of the most vivid and eloquent prose and verse from those who have witnessed the intensity of war at first hand. Beginning with Elizabeth I’s epic speech at Tilbury as the Spanish advanced across the Channel, and ending with Lt. Colonel Tim Collins stirring address to his men prior to the overthrow of Saddam Hussain’s Iraqi dictatorship, each piece offers a moving glimpse of the consuming soul of war itself.
