Two Brothers, Two Wars

Drawing on family recollections, letters and memoirs, the author tells a strange and moving story about the war experiences of his two uncles, from the rat-ridden horrors of the Flanders' trenches to the leech-infested jungle tracks of Burma. Their intertwined lives find resolution in this masterly and consoling narrative.

About the author

THOMAS MCALINDON, born in Belfast, is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Hull. He is the author of six books on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, including Shakespeare's Tragic Cosmos and English Renaissance Tragedy (1991).
