Well worth it - a very moving book, quite literary, about a poet who began the war as a questioner of the war and grew more convinced of his need to serve as it went on. Interesting on milieu of Brooke and depicts Owen on the fringes of a circle whose centre was the Bloomsbury Poetry Bookshop. Good on friendship with Robert Frost, and Frost's attitude to war as an American emigre - considered joining up himself...

Moving and sophisticated - Great War bibliography listed is a bit basic, but don't let that put you off.
