Enduring Freedom : An Afghan Anthology PDF

This brand new anthology has been compiled to commemorate 10 years in Afghanistan.

Announced in November 2010, contributions for a book of war poems were sought, and aided by appeals in the media, including BFBS Radio, the Army Families Federation and the charity Combat Stress, to name but a few; poems came from serving personnel of all ranks, veterans, families and friends.

These poems all have one thing in common: they speak from and with the very soul of our Armed Forces of which we are so proud.

With an introduction by Sir Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate 1999-2009 and foreword by the former Head of the TA (Territorial Army), His Grace, The Duke of Westminster, this high-profile anthology is sure to stimulate poetry enthusiasts and those with an interest in supporting HM Forces personnel.

The book contains a large proportion of new poetry inspired by events and operations relating to Afghanistan, written by both previously unpublished, and established poets who have found this book a suitable and timely vehicle for their powerful prose and poetry.

One of the most powerful entries is from a schoolgirl, whose Wootton Bassett inspired poem is sure to stir the emotions.

AGBP2 from each book supports Combat Stress.
