Summary:

"As one of the major writers about World War I, Ford Madox Ford produced a number of widely read stories, novels, and essays about the war. His four-volume Parade's End has been called 'the greatest modern war novel from a British writer' (Malcolm Bradbury). This collection of his other published and unpublished writings illuminates the tetralogy. It includes reminiscences, an unfinished novel, stories, and prefaces"--Publisher description.
