Siegfried Sassoon – Counter-Attack and Other Poems – First Edition 1918
£475.00
A first edition, first printing published by Heinemann in 1918. A very good copy. Some repair to the spine of the book. A few internal tape burns within the French flaps. Some spotting within. Wear to the edges. “Counter-Attack” reflects Sassoon’s disillusionment and his fierce condemnation of the war. The poem vividly describes the chaos and carnage of a counter-attack in the trenches, portraying the grim reality faced by soldiers on both sides. Through vivid imagery and stark language, Sassoon captures the devastation, fear, and dehumanisation brought about by the relentless cycle of violence.
