The anthology includes the works of many poets, some as well known as Nathan Altherman and Yehudah Amichai and others less known. The poems, presented in both English and Hebrew, depict war as viewed by the soldier, as reflected upon by civilians, and as a force giving rise to the creation of poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eRaizen explores in an introductory essay the issue of whether poetry written with a defined political message and in the context of certain historical events can function adequately on the aesthetic level. She also tracks the changes in the characteristics of Israeli war poetry from 1948 to 1991, beginning with the glorified patriotism expected in the 1930s-1940s and progressing to the critical ideas in the later years, during which poetry is characterized by understatement and cynicism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1948-1967 \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrayer (Haiim Gouri)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Death of the Man in the Field (Haiim Gouri)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBehold, Our Bodies are Laid Out (Haiim Gouri)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ones Forgotten (Haiim Gouri)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo the Memory of a Comrade (Hillel Omer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWord from the Gray Soldiers (Hillel Omer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Squad in the Land (Hillel Omer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround the Campfire (Nathan Alterman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Silver Platter (Nathan Alterman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemorial (Uri Zvi Greenberg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplendor from the Splendid (Uri Zvi Greenberg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoem of Blessing (Uri Zvi Greenberg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ones Living by Their Virtue Say (Uri Zvi Greenberg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHagomel (Uriel Ofeq)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd My Brother Was Silent (Amir Gilboa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForced March in Summer (Yehoshua Zafrir)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sappers (Haiim Hefer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Left Slowly (Haiim Hefer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEulogy (Moshe Tabenkin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod Has Mercy on Kindergarten Children (Yehudah Amichai)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Poems About the First Battles (Yehudah Amichai)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain on the Battlefield (Yehudah Amichai)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Anonymous Squad (Yehiel Mohar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetween Sickle and Sword (Yehiel Mohar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the Fighters--A Lament (Ayin Tur-Malka)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeralds of New Jerusalem (Ayin Tur-Malka)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMirror of the Battle (Ayin Tur-Malka)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemorial Service (Ayin Tur-Malka)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Time and the Response (Nathan Alterman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dust of Poems (Nathan Yonathan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout the Boy (Nathan Yonathan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInto a Dead Zone (Mati Katz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1967-1973 \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn Silver Wings (Naomi Shemer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParade of the Fallen (Haiim Hefer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Paratroopers Are Weeping (Haiim Hefer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Night (Karmela Lakhish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissing Out (Eli Alon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf There Is a God (Eli Alon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave-Taking (Eli Alon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Mount of Final Repose (Eli Alon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways in Anguish (Eli Alon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[I sat upon the ground] (Abba Kovner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[My comrades] (Abba Kovner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Child Smells of Peace (Yehudah Amichai)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Have No Unknown Soldiers (Yehudah Amichai)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildling Peace (Yehudah Amichai)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Place of Fire (Zelda)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Mucha Word Could Help (Zelda)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn a Stone Pillow (Haiim Gouri)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting-Up Camp (Yonathan Gefen)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSettlement (David Avidan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwenty Years in the Wadi (Dan Pagis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen You Grow Up (Anadad Eldan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead in a Bereft Horah (Yehiel Hazak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWake (Yehiel Hazak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilitary Call-Up (Meir Wieseltier)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove is Progressing (Meir Wieseltier)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn (Yoseph Sarig)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemorial Day, 1969 (T.
