OverviewA Gunner's War This book by the author of 'Observation Posts'(also published by Leonaur) is a markedly different first hand account of the war artillerymen working close to the front line trenches or in vulnerable and perilous O. Ps knew. The author's previous book was comprised of letters home and, of course, included impressions of particular interest to family members. They contained much good cheer and reassurance. 'A Test of Scarlet' describes a brutal war of mud and blood. Dawson was a fine writer and his skill transforms the horrible reality of war into a vital account guaranteed to not only inform but to be a reading pleasure. Dawson takes the reader right to the heart of the war with all its fear, violence and periods of stultifying boredom. It will be a welcome addition to any library on the Great War. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
