    Summary note
    "A veteran of the Second World War, Douglas LePan never forgot his experience of the horrors of battle. His bold, powerful poems often recall scenes of valour, tenacity and honour amid the "festivals of savagery" that soldiers faced at every turn. LePan counterbalanced this focus on combat with moments of friendship, vulnerability and candour. Whether writing about love, war or the natural world, his writing reveals the human capacity for courage in all its forms"-- Provided by publisher.
