Elegant and Erudite

A noble addition to a fairly small collection of important poems about WW II. This is part one of Paulin's project epic regarding that conflagaration. It begins with Versailles and ends with the beginning years of WW II. Paulin assumes a fairly recondite and comprehensive knowledge of the inter-war years. This is not easy reading--but if you prefer formalism about grand subjects, run out and buy this book.
