Siegfried Sassoon |
This must surely be the definitive biography of this remarkable man. A man born into privilege who found lasting fame as a First World War hero and a great poet of that war with his savage anger at the horror and waste. His book Memoirs of a Fox Hunting Man with its searing descriptions of the conflict is a standard work.
