Rudyard Kipling’s Poems From The Great War [EPUB ebook] 

’If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.’

Discover a collection of Rudyard Kipling’s poems written during the Great War. Depicting the war from the perspective of a patriotic citizen who struggles between his duty to his country and the outrage of the horrors that were coming out of the Western Front.

Though some might think these poems glorify war, Rudyard shows the true suffering the war was bringing to not only the soldiers on the front line but also the ordinary people who were caught in the crossfire. With his later poems being heavily influenced by him coping to come to terms with the grief of losing his only son John Kipling on the front line, in 1917.
