Description - The Invasion Handbook by Tom Paulin
The Invasion Handbook sets out to recount the origins of the Second World War. The result is a triumph of technique - a myriad staging of historical realities through the poet's intense and bitter scrutiny of the particulars of time and place.The volume opens with the Versailles Peace Trey of 1919, which excluded Germany from the community of nations, and with the answering but ill-fated attempt of the Locarno Treaties of 1925 to restore the torn fabric of Europe. It evokes Weimar culture, the beginnings of the persecution of the Jews, and ends with the Battle of Britain.Tom Paulin's poems of war affirms the struggle and the memory of a generation upon whom doors of living memory are now closing - and looks at the relation of art to war and to questions of national identity, the search for peace and for a shared civic culture.
