The Cruellest War is Andrew Wareham’s recent World War I series, with titles drawn from wartime songs and poetry that capture the emotional weight of the conflict. Weeping, Sad and Lonely, Hopes and Fears How Vain, and When Autumn Leaves Are Falling are among the seven entries that follow characters through the Great War.
The series complements Wareham’s other WWI series, War To End All Wars, by taking a different angle on the same conflict. The poetic titles set this series apart and give each book a distinct emotional register.
