The Invasion Handbook is the first instalment of Tom Paulin's ambitious new poem about World War II. It evokes Weimar culture, Hitler's rise to power, the beginnings of the persecution of the Jews, and ends with the Battle of Britain. This poem of war affirms the struggle and the memory of a generation upon whom the doors of living memory are now closing - and looks at the relation of art to war and to questions of national identity, the search for peace and for a shared civic culture.
