Description

Undertones of War"I took my road with no little pride of fear; one morning I feared very sharply, as I saw what looked like a rising shroud over a wooden cross in the clustering mist. Horror But on a closer study I realized that the apparition was only a flannel gas helmet. . . . What an age since 1914 " In Undertones of War, one of the finest autobiographies to come out of World War I, the acclaimed poet Edmund Blunden records his devastating experiences in combat.

"I took my road with no little pride of fear; one morning I feared very sharply, as I saw what looked like a rising shroud over a wooden cross in the clustering mist. Horror But on a closer study I realized that the apparition was only a flannel gas helmet. . . . What an age since 1914 "

In Undertones of War, one of the finest autobiographies to come out of World War I, the acclaimed poet Edmund Blunden records his devastating experiences in combat. After enlisting at the age of twenty, he took part in the disastrous battles at the Somme, Ypres, and Passchendaele, describing them as "murder, not only to the troops but to their singing faiths and hopes."

All the horrors of trench warfare, all the absurdity and feeble attempts to make sense of the fighting, all the strangeness of observing war as a writer--of being simultaneously soldier and poet--pervade Blunden's memoir. In steely-eyed prose as richly allusive as any poetry, he tells of the endurance and despair found among the men of his battalion, including the harrowing acts of bravery that won him the Military Cross.

Now back in print for American readers, the volume includes a selection of Blunden's war poems that unflinchingly juxtapose death in the trenches with the beauty of Flanders's fields. Undertones of War deserves a place on anyone's bookshelf between Siegfried Sassoon's poetry and Robert Graves's Goodbye to All That.

Pretty good cables for what they are
Size: 2 Channel-3 ft
I purchased these Skar Audio cables here on Amazon because they were an outstanding price. They shipped very quickly. When I open the package mind you they do work pretty good but when I open the package I've noticed that the gold plated connecting points that are supposed to connect to your amplifier and your receiver are a little flimsy and don't fit as tight as they're supposed to so I was concerned that bumps on the road whatever would cause them to loosen up so I had to squeeze them together a little bit so I can make them fit tighter on the amplifier but so far so good and I've had no problems with them. I've had no weird humming no weird crackling or any kind of connection issues whatsoever since I've done this. Just something to take note. Other than that, for the price these are pretty good cables and if you want to spend a little more here on Amazon you can get better cables. I know Skar Audio makes pretty good speakers for what they're worth and they definitely make pretty decent amps. I'm just not quite sure about there quality on cables and such. Just my honest opinion. I know people that love everything that they make so it's all subjective and a matter of opinion. Would I recommend them? For the price definitely.

Another Quality Product from Skar Audio
Size: 1-Female to 2-Male Y-Adapter-1 ft
High Quality RCA. I needed a 1 Male to 2 Female RCA Y adapter, and me not reading correctly ordered this. However - I managed to make this work at my AMP instead of the head unit. Great sound quality, Cable is a good gauge and matches my RCA's already ran in the car. Connects easy and had this installed within minutes. Thanks Skar!
