Published in the centenary year of the First World War’s outbreak, and written by one of the UK’s leading cultural historians, this fascinating monograph will investigate the impact of the conflict on Britain’s attitudes to its war dead, and demonstrate how so simple and seemingly unremarkable a piece of music has attained such a powerful, near sacred status.
