Songs From The War Years A
Celebration in Music 3 CD Box set
Never underestimate
the power of music to capture human emotion and raise the human spirit. The
proof is in this stirring collection. These sixty songs from the two world wars
of the twentieth century capture the longing for peace and home by soldiers so
very far from either. But they also demonstrate humanity's capacity to find
humour even in the darkest hours, and its readiness to work together, to sing
together, for the greater good.
