Benediction
The biography of soldier and poet Siegfried Sassoon (1886–1967), who was awarded for valor on the Western Front and is most recognized for his indignant and empathetic poetry about the First World War, which earned him public and critical fame. Sassoon avoided the sentimentality and patriotism of many war poets by writing about the tragedy and cruelty of trench combat and satirizing generals, politicians, and the clergy for their incompetence and unquestioning support of the war.
