When this text was first published in 1965, it offered radical perspectives on the poetry, fiction and autobiographical writing of World War I. It mapped an area of literature which remains challenging and painfully fresh despite later carnage in the 20th century, challenging because of the quality of the writers who served, and because attitudes altered so fundamentally during its four traumatic years. This substantially revised and enlarged edition restores the book as a critical and historical study of the work of those who fought: victims, such as the poets Charles Sorley, Wilfred Owen, and Issac Rosenberg; and survivors, who returned to their experiences in prose works ten or more years after it had ended, including Edmund Blunden, Siegfried Sasson and Robert Graves. An account of contemporary responses to the war by civilian writers, including H.G. Wells, Arnold Bennett and D.H. Lawrence, is featured, and a final chapter discusses poems and novels about the war by writers born long after it was over.

By 1481 Granada was the last Islamic enclave in Catholic Spain. Granada's last ruler, Muhammad XII 'Boadbil', faced the might of a Spanish royal army revitalised and lavishly equipped with modern artillery. Despite this mismatch of strength it took 11 years of hard campaigning before the Spanish troops could bring their guns to bear on the walls of Granada. After this, the outcome could not be long delayed. Andalusia, the physical embodiment of the flowering Islamic culture in Spain, was snuffed out. Nevertheless, although the fall of Granada meant the end of Muslim Spain, completing the long wished for 'Reconquista', it also signalled the beginning of a united Spain. Fernando and Isabel, already jointly holding the crowns of Castile and Aragon, used the victory to promote feelings of unity amongst their subjects: in spite of most of the rewards of the campaign going to Castilian nobles, the fall of Granada was nevertheless the achievement of the whole of Spain, using resources from both Castile and Aragon. David Nicolle investigates the 11-year campaign that culminated in the 'Reconquista' phase of the Iberian Peninsula's history. The commanders, forces, plans and campaign itself are all examined closely in this superbly illustrated account of 'Los Reyes Catolicos' greatest victory.
