Work:: The Long Bones (S01770160587)

A soldier poet. Two beloved women. An ugly battlefield. Alun Lewis was clever, passionate and charismatic. He was a successful poet and a good soldier. Born in South Wales, he died suddenly while serving with the British army on the Arakan front in 1944. Why he died has always been a mystery. The Long Bones imagines Alun's last hours in the Burma jungle, and tells the powerful story behind the death of this fine war poet.
