ISBN 0571174531 "Where previous war anthologies have confined themselves to particular periods or ideological outlooks, Kenneth Baker's takes a catholic view and benefits from a wider exploration of material, classical and modern, English and foreign-language. He has given preference to poems with a strong documentary or psychological realism, and the entire book is divided into sections dealing with such matters as 'The Patriotic Imperative', 'Recruitment', 'Weapons', 'Leadership', 'Civilian Victims', 'Conscientious Objection', 'Views of Death', and 'Gallantry and Heroism'. It makes for exciting, moving and instructive reading." Dust jacket has very minor edge wear. F/NF Price: 30.00 USD

"....presents consumer-oriented, independent reveiws and commentaries on the wines and comprehensive evaluations and analyses of the major growers and negociants of these important regions. The growers and/or negociants are rated in detail according to the style and quality of their wines, their relative quality as well as their recent histories, and their relative market value. The growers are covered year by year in a highly specific manner, with the author's tasting notes included in most cases for the years 1976-1986. The text is organized according to the wine-producing regions and appellations. The Northern Rhone, the Southern Rhone, and Provence are the three major geographical regions. Within each of these, Parker evaluates the growers and producers by appellations, working from north to south....Finally, Parker offers his valuable classifications of the growers and negociants (there has never been an official classification of the red Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines, for instance); his comments on the vinification of the wines; extensive vintage charts assessing the quality of the different appellations within the regions; and his guidelines for cellaring and serving the wines. For the traveling wine lover, there are recommendations for visiting the Rhone Valley and Provence, including notes on the best hotels and restaurants, and those vineyards most worth a call."
