The grim horrors of trench warfare, the murderous first day on the Somme, the loony schemes of the general staff, the pains and fears of ordinary men and their officers, the letters to and from home, the pains and fears of ordinary men and their officers, the letters to and from home, the incomprehension of the war back home . . . Sebastian Faulks' 'Birdsong' is ambitious, outrageous, poignant, sleep-disturbing and literature at its very best.
